Troubled Water ~ ~ ~ Sunrise / Sunset on Fire Island

~

~ between the earthquake ~ and the hurricane

~ Jeff and i headed out to Fire Island ~ again

~

~ the whole place was wildly abuzz with talk of

~ battening down the hatches ~ and evacuation

~

~ the fragility of the dune environment

~ is so evident ~ when Nature rears its head

~

~ the ocean waters were clearly 'troubled'

~ and ~ growing 'rougher' by the hour

~ with the storm already inching up the Atlantic coast

~

~ hopefully ~ not too damage was done ::

~ there are some lovely people living out there

~ and the beauty of the island is legendary
