So a couple weeks ago, as Hurricane Bill came near New England, I decided I'd go shoot some wave action. Well, Bill accelerated away from land faster than I expected and I got skunked. But I did get a couple decent ones of sandpipers. Here they are. I have no idea why there's no EXIF data on the. </p>
