Stretched

Fire Island New York

Canon S90

This was a hot day, a hurricane was in the far distance, we were a group of three or four family fragments, I was the only man and Solomon was one of two boys, mostly women, girls and dogs. Ferry over in the morning a pleasant day of walking, beaching and photography, ferry back in the evening.

Our group walked together for awhile, the ladies desired lunch on the beach, Solomon and I split off to photograph in the shade and lunch in a cafe with air conditioning.

Long story short, Naomi and Stephanie were hit by a rogue wave and dragged into the surf escaping soaked and sandy. 

Father and son kept their cameras dry and sent the ladies off with a credit card for some new clothes.

"You must leave now, 

Take what you need,

You think will last,

But whatever you wish to keep,

You better grab it fast."
