Another trip to Green Hill, except this time my jaw dropped when I came over the sand dune to see the beach. Everything was eroded. I know winter erosion happens, sands shift, and beaches become steep, but I was here a month or so ago and it didn't look anything like this! The sloping beach was replaced by a steep decline. Waves were no longer breaking parallel to the beach but at all sorts of odd...
February has been such a dreary month, between three snowstorms in a row (all hitting on weekends) and incessant overcast and gray skies, I think it's fair to say there are plenty of people who are getting cabin fever. As we waited for warmer spring weather to roll in, I was caught up in multiple projects. Of course none of them involved shooting and before I knew it, it had been about 2 weeks...
We were spoiled with our unseasonably warm January. Mother Nature decided to greet New England and the coastal communities with a historic blizzard for February instead! With record breaking snowfall in some areas, and hurricane force winds at times, Rhode Island saw about 2 feet of snow in most places! I don't remember having this much snow on the ground since I was a little kid and 1 foot of...
Yay, surf! It was the first big surf of 2013 and I'm sure the surfers were happier about it than I was. The 1,000 mile long storm at the end of January stretched from Florida to New England. As warm spring collided with cold winter, tornadoes arrived in Georgia and swell came to RI. It was 6-8' from the southwest with a strong west southwest breeze. Watching the forecast all week it looked like...
Green Hill. A stretch of Rhode Island beach along the southern shores crowded with empty summer condos and beach houses. This little spot will have surf every now and again, and on a clear day you can see Block Island on the horizon. It's nice to have a place of solitude, but this visit was on one of our unseasonably warm days, about 50 degrees in the middle of January. I wasn't alone as there...
