We received one inch of rain from today's storm, and more rain is on the way for tomorrow! We are very grateful.

Anne Mary Schaefer has an eye for beauty. She captured this beautiful sunset at Manchester State Beach recently.

She calls this a "two sunset day," as the sun is reflected in the shallow water on the beach. Just lovely!

Anne Mary Schaefer captured a small green flash while at Manchester Beach a few weeks ago. It was a beautiful sunset too.

I love how the colors are reflected in the water glistening on the sand.

Doug Forsell just sent this in:

"I was out on Manchester Beach yesterday (Friday Oct. 6) at about 5:30 PM walking south from the Stoneborough Road entrance, and about 500 yards from the mouth of the river, I came upon a raccoon feeding at the edge of the surf. Wanted to get a picture so I slowly walked towards it.  Kept expecting it to run away, but even after it saw me it continued to feed. I was about to walk away when it finally turned towards me, hunched its back and began acting very aggressive. It even made a couple of charges towards me, of about 5 feet.

I continued south and every once in a while looked back with my binoculars and the animal remained vigilant with his back raised watching me for about five minutes until I disappeared from sight. Any normal animal would certainly have run for the dunes so I suspect this animal may have rabies or some serious mental issues.
Thought you might want to put a notice on your blog to let people know that there may be a rabid raccoon in that area. Especially important for those who take their dogs to the beach. While of course dogs are supposed to be on leashes, most of the dogs I see there are not on leashes.  I think that raccoon could do serious damage to the biggest dog."

***Please keep your dog on leash while on Manchester Beach until this Raccoon is found and tested.***

Thanks to Doug for the warning and his photo too.

That's what Anne Mary Schaeffer did - she went to Manchester State Beach.

Storm tossed driftwood at Manchester Beach by Anne Mary Schaefer (Large)

Here's what Anny Mary said, “[Here is a photo of] storm tossed driftwood piled along the base of the bluff. I love the light’s last gleaming, the long low shadow of the log on the bluff, the color in the sky, the mist at the shore’s edge to the north – yes, natural untouched raw beauty.”
