And we were. RI is really wet. The lake is almost up to our pier and the backyard is perfect for mud wrestling. Here is the water coming out of our basement! Only kidding.

Rain, rain, rain... so much of a good thing. Almost up to the pier. I'm worried that it may float away...
Anyway, confined here to the computer, and surfing through my collections as I sometimes do, I came across a faded shot, purposely out of focus shot done at the beach. This image led to thoughts of the the beaches on Long Beach Island, so long ago. That led to thoughts of Victoria Wright, my Scottich aunt who frequently took me under her wing, and kept me on the straight and narrow. We're celebrating her 95th birthday in May. What could be better on this rainy day then posting some pictures that remind me of my dear Aunt Vic from times long long ago.
"Reaching For the Sky" from a class I was teaching at Salve University. Isn't that we all want to do?

The back yard is a swamp. We have our own wetland right out our window. However, the daffs, tulips, and skunk cabbage are lving it!

I woke very early to this erie glow over the lake, lights from Warwick and Wakefield, glowing off the heavy overcast. Totally still here at 5:30 on a Monday morning. No wind, only Time rushing by, pulling me along, faster and faster.
So much happening in Narragansett, so bright, so young.. Met a guy who was sitting on the wall, singing his heart out. Pretty good, too. I stood and listened for a bit then asked, "Mind if I take your picture?" He said, "Go ahead, man."
A lady came by struggling with two Pugs, click click. Later, the shiny steel railing pointing skyward turned me on, shot a whole series. And of course the foam, never can resist the ever changing wash of the waves onto the beach. So I've begun a little series called "Along The Sea Wall," part of a new collection of Washington County photographs. PS: Unfortunately my Google blog posts don't show the whole composition. You need to click on image to see the whole enchilada. Jan Armor
The geese HAVE arrived. Soon the battle will be engaged to keep these beautiful winged birds, affectionally referred to as "Flying Feces," off our back lawn. Per this photo, they grow bolder, having already taken up residence on my rock.
A flock of gulls that live here on the lake have been basking on the public pier, smoothing ruffled feathers. Wish I knew how to do that.

Here's Veronica, at around 6 months. She and her husband are quite a story. They immigrated from Brazil in the early nineties, coming here separately with nothing but the shirts on their backs, and speaking no English to boot. V lived alone, worked at MacDonalds, and learned some rudimentary English by watching TV. Eventually got a position in a kitchen counter store, which is where we met her, and instantly loved her. Hard working gal, now has a good man, a house and a car, and both have good jobs. It an old American tale, still an inspiration. Although I rarely do this type of photography any longer, they were both so excited about the coming little girl, I just could not say no to her request.
