Rowboat memories

Rowboat memories, a photo by Michael Orhelein on Flickr.

When I was a boy my dad would put an old 10hp outboard on a rented rowboat and we'd go fishing. I suppose all those great memories are the reason I love to find this kind of image.

What a difference a day makes! A wild nor-easter yesterday, a peaceful morning today.

I'm not getting political here. The boat on the right (Freedom) is for sale. I was amused...doesn't take much anymore.

The honor system is pretty simple and works well in our rural America. Honor, what a concept!

As much fun as it is to watch this sport, it must be incredible to do it. It's on the bucket list.

Goodnight Irene, a photo by Michael Orhelein on Flickr.

Last evening Irene showed her softer side as she approached Bethany Beach. This morning she has gotten moody and harsh. Before she leaves she will get nasty and in her aftermath...well we will have to wait.

Sunrise with my Son

Sunrise with my Son , a photo by Michael Orhelein on Flickr.

Well before the sun rose the sky was on fire with color. A lot of people sat on the beach to enjoy the moment. What a great morning! Sharing it with your child makes it even better.

The 4th was a wash out, so Bethany celebrated on the 5th. It was a real good show.

A Lucky Sunset

A Lucky Sunset, a photo by Michael Orhelein on Flickr.

On the way back to my truck after a portrait session I was surprised to see such an incredible end to the day. I figured I'd miss it by the time I got to a place that was clear enough for a good view. Got Lucky!

Before the Crowds

Before the Crowds, a photo by Michael Orhelein on Flickr.

Sunrise at 5:37, I am often surprised by just how many people I see up before the sun. The boardwalk ,however, was quiet this morning.

High Tide

High Tide, a photo by Michael Orhelein on Flickr.

The reflection in the water on the dock as the tide rose was quite inspiring. I worked the area for about 45minutes when I realized there was no way I was going to get back to the shore completely dry.

During WW2 these towers lined the coast of Delaware for the purpose of sighting enemy ships. Several remain standing, reminding us of another time.

Although quiet in the morning, the beach goers will soon cover the sand and play in the ocean. Lifeguards will be stationed in their chairs by 8:00am.

The fireworks were pretty darn good this year. It seemed there were 6 or 7 grand finales! The weather was perfect and the crowds were friendly.

This blog is meant to share with you those people, places, and things that I have found in my daily travels. Although portrait photography is my passion I am fascinated with the world around me.
