Until yesterday we have had lovely weather here in the Caribbean …
… but a tropical storm passing to the east of us has caused some surf, overcast and rain showers. The beaches were flying red flags, a warning not to swim since the waves were powerful enough to easily knock people over. I believe this storm is headed to Nova Scotia where it will drop a lot of rain.
The ocean so often looks tame and inviting, but it is a supremely powerful force on our planet that should be respected. I am strongly reminded that if we don’t respect our climate, our climate won’t respect us.

Thanks, Maggie. We keep getting warning signs of greater and greater intensity but there are always excuses for reacting in desultory ways. So frustrating.

Sounds like a good time to just enjoy the view and stick to the shore for a bit.

It sure was. Before the flags went up, I was one of the people knocked over by a wave. I was fine, but children would be in danger.
As of today, the storm has passed.

The ocean is nice to look at but not a place I would go into anymore. I have too much respect for the power of the water. Have a good Monday Lynette. Allan

Thanks, Allan.
It is such an amazingly powerful force that can also masquerade as kitten-like. It certainly demands respect.
