Coastal Clouds

I am no stranger to coastal weather as I lived near the Maine coast for almost 19 years.

The clouds are always fascinating along a coast, and weather moves fast.

I like to eat my noon dinner in the “outdoor room” (screened porch), after which I enjoy an espresso and read a little. And I watch the clouds. (The porch screen distorts a bit.)

Weather boils up, for the most part, from the direction straight in front of my porch. And almost always these days, there is a very cool breeze that comes directly into my porch.

Summer heat in the south will still the wind on a lot of days. Even the ocean will become flat and smooth, except for the fringe of the waves at the water’s edge. But for now, our weather has just been delightful.
