Perfection Before the Storm
This photo was taken in Avalon, NJ, 20 minutes before my family and I evacuated the barrier island as a hurricane quickly approached. The increasing winds would prove to be destructive but at this moment they made the beach incredibly beautiful.
As a former federal park ranger and retired teacher, I look for beauty in nature’s textures, patterns, and natural geometry. Favorite places to take my camera are Bermuda, Avalon, NJ, British Columbia and Alberta, Canada, Southwest Florida, and the American West.
