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.

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.

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!

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.
