The ocean has been pretty rough this past week here on Florida's Treasure Coast. The TV weather people have been out on the beach doing their forecasts each day, warning beachgoers to stay out of the water. Most people have heeded that warning, although a few have been daring the waves, especially the surfers. Just for fun, I decided to head out around sunset yesterday to the House of Refuge Museum on Hutchinson Island to see if I could capture a photograph of the waves crashing onto the rocks there. Which I did, although I was not alone. There were all kinds of photographers there. One was taking what looked like a couple's engagement photos, another was taking photographs of a high school graduate, three teenage girls were taking turns posing for photos on top of the rocks, and one guy was just taking photographs of the waves, like me. Years ago, I remember coming here at sunset and being the only one around. Not anymore. It is still a beautiful spot, but no longer undiscovered. Which is sad, but understandable. With so many people now living here in Stuart, it had to happen. I think they call that progress.
