Aftermath
Aftermath of a north Pacific storm, with remains of a boardwalk (left) and moss-covered logs (foreground and center) that were once the beams of a Haida longhouse. S'Gaang Gwaii Ilnagaay (Anthony Island), a UNESCO Heritage Site (Ninstints), Gwaii Haanas National Heritage Site, Haida Gwaii, BC. The root balls of two giant uprooted trees can be seen in the image and the long trunk of another runs horizontally across the frame. Amazing how quickly Mother Nature can rearrange a landscape!

on August 18, 2021Well done documentation of what must have been a very powerful storm to cause such destruction.

on August 17, 2021Thanks for your comment this morning Terry.... re: Baxter swimming - yes, he's swimming already and he loves it. He started swimming the first time we took him to the lake, he looks so funny because he just swims around, visiting everyone who's in the water and checking out all the boats, just like he does on land. The breed has web feet so it seems they are meant to be in water, but with their heavy coat it takes a long time to dry. (would love to see more photos of your Portuguese Water Dog, such a beautiful breed!)

on August 17, 2021Such destruction is almost hard to fathom, but I know it happens. We see it often when tornadoes come through areas in Texas. We took a drive Sunday afternoon, and saw damage still present from an early Spring twister.
Thanks for asking about Ashlee's college career with the Covid situation. She came home (to her Mom's house) in January, 2020. She went back to campus for the Spring 2021 semester, but had the option of online classes or in person classes. She did a lot on line, and did well. She made did really well and made the Dean's list. She will start the Fall semester in about a week (I think). They still have the option of online or in person & a mixture of both is approved by the school.

on August 17, 2021Great shot of the aftermath of the storm. It is frightening how much damage mother nature can inflict. I watch a facebook feed from the Lake District in the UK, in 2015 they were hit by Storm Desmond, seriously heavy rainfall nearly 40cm falling in 24 hours. The damage done to local infrastructure and the local landscape is still highly visible today. Amazing how those big root balls are so easily upended by rain and wind.
