Is Karen Coming?

It's Saturday October 5th, 2013. I woke up early this morning in preparation for preparing for a possible visit by Karen tomorrow, a named storm. I walked outside and heard the Gulf of Mexico's waves churned up. The early morning quiet and mist over the barrier island and Santa Rosa Sound, where I live, makes for sound to travel. Thinking that the surf must really be up, I grabbed my camera and drove out to Pensacola Beach - only to be surprised that the waves were not all that large. Oh well. I was there and so I enjoyed myself anyway. I hope you enjoy the photos!
...and about Karen? Seems she isn't all that angry and is more interested in visiting first our Gulf Coast neighbor, Louisiana.
