Hurricane Ida rolled through overnight, bringing lots of rain and even a tornado warning. In the morning, the skies were still grey and the ocean was still far from calm.
Shortly before Hurricane Ida showed up, the geese abandoned Ocean Park in favor of Inkwell Beach. I have never seen so many geese at the shore. It was weird.
Every year there are many geese to be found at Ocean Park. But this year, all the geese were there. Until later in the week, when they went to the beach.
This is Jerry, the mascot of the Summer of Play. Also known as Jerry the Sop. Sounds like a Mafia name. Don’t mess with Jerry the Sop. Give me an attitude about wearing a mask? I’ll send you to Jerry the Sop. You don’t want that.
Local PBS station had a fundraiser which I happily contributed to: learn to paint like Bob Ross! While I’m not as pleased with my painting as I might have been, I enjoyed the process.
