Gray and cold, gray and cold... will there be no relief? Some more snow might help spice things up! I don't mind snow when it's bitterly cold outside. We did get an entire week of unseasonal 50 degree weather, though, and I found myself heading down to Green Hill (again) to catch some of the winter storm surf that was rolling up the coast. It was incredibly foggy, more-so on this day in...
In an effort to explore some new seascape locations I have been slightly neglecting one of my favorite winter beaches, Green Hill of South Kingstown. But mid-January I found myself driving there about 3 times a week, sometimes for shooting and sometimes just for beach combing.

It snowed. Did I mention it was cold? While I mostly tried to keep all of my appendages in working order, I did manage to go outside a couple of times to photograph.

It was the weather just before the Polar Vortex decided to sit on most of North America. It wasn't 0° with wind chill around -56° but it was still cold and windy! I was down on the beach at the surf spot known...

One of the items on this list has been to photograph more Rhode Island Lighthouses and to visit Sakonnet Point. I hadn't visited Sakonnet since my junior sailing days back in high school when a couple of Laser events were hosted out of Sakonnet...
