Storm Passage

Fading TS Ophelia passed by the Cape and Islands this morning, barely doing more than a bit of surf and the earlier day of rain. Around 12:30, the clouds began to thin out, we had blue sky, and the sun began to shine. Shortly after this picture was taken, however, there was one single strong gust of wind, and the sky clouded over again. So we are not quit of Ophelia just yet, but she is certainly a fading tropical bloom as she passes by. 

Spirea rebloom. 

Sunny hydrangea.
