Ocean City Odonata (Dragonflies & Damselflies) Winter Scenes | Ocean City, MD. Icy Ocean City Day, Winter Storm Octavia Approaches. It’s an icy Ocean City day as Winter Storm Octavia approaches the Mid-Atlantic Region, though we shall get but a sprinkling in comparison to our northern neighbors, it is brutal nonetheless.

Icy Ocean City Day, Winter Storm Octavia Approaches

The morning started with a short Beach Bus ride to Horizons Restaurant, Clarion Fontainebleau Resort Hotel, with the temperature around 18 degrees and wind chill about zero. As always, the view from Horizons and the rear deck as the sunrises is a remarkable site to see all year-round, even on an icy Ocean City Day. Alas, we can not let looks fool us, layers upon layers was the motto for the day… On to the beach for a quick, quick stroll, and though walking across the frozen sands towards the somewhat calm looking Atlantic Ocean still may not look that cold… Again, don’t let looks fool you, as the first sight to see was this tree branch frozen into the sand… Two photographs I find quite interesting, the first a wave that came ashore at low tide froze on the shore.

Let’s check out my inlet… Like this:

Category: Beach Photography Let me add this prelude to this article, thank goodness no one was hurt in the NASA Wallops Island Antares rocket launch last evening!

Evening Beach Walking in Ocean City Maryland

The Antares rocket was supplied by contractor Orbital Sciences, and they are working with NASA to understand what may have happened. As there are 6 people currently on the International Space Station, known as Expedition 41, the resupply is necessary though there is no immediate urgency. The next scheduled launch to the station will be on Nov. 23rd, 2014 at 3:59 pm EST, known as Expedition 42, a launch of Soyuz 41 from the Baikonur Cosmodrome, Kazakhstan. The Soyuz 41 will take Terry Virts and Samantha Cristoforetti to the International Space Station, along with resupply and equipment. Best Ocean City Watersports Pictures, and The Winners Are.
