following the storm

Waiting at the airport after torrential downpours this morning. It is clearing here now, but it seems we will be following the weather system moving up towards the mid-Atlantic. I do hope the weather is warm enough tomorrow for the sixth winter coat of varnish tomorrow, but only after a good sanding with 400 grit wet paper.

The photograph is from the white sandy beach at Lake Frederick, a deep pool of water next to some narrows on the ICW along the Gulf Islands National Seashore. The water is so clear I wanted to go for a swim, the sand so white it hurt my eyes. Wouldn't it be nice to see Spartina sailing out on that emerald water? (I better get some sunglasses.)
