These pictures, taken from Haven Beach not long after the storm called Sandy, show the status of a dock which used to extend way out onto the beach. Since I don't visit Haven often, I'm not sure how long ago the end of the dock fell by the wayside.
The rest of it is perfectly intact, although the sand threatens to overtake it in spots.
Click here for a previous post about Haven; the very first picture in that post shows how far out the dock originally extended.
The beaches change so quickly around here, I never get bored. And you never know just what you're going to find.
One thing I wasn't expecting on this particular trip was the following.

| A beached, overturned couch that at one point had been nailed to a dock (or something). It blended in so well with the surroundings, I almost missed it. |
At first I thought perhaps this was part of the end of the dock that washed away, but then I remembered the chairs nailed to the end of that dock were more Adirondack style, or so I recall. I can't seem to locate any other photos of the end of that dock with the chairs even though I have

Hope she does too.
Love the photos.
Makes me want to move to the beach pronto.
Oh I hope she feels better soon...my prescription is a hot toddy (for you) and tons of vitamin C (for her).
Always love the photos
I want to say Hurricane Irene took the dock away. It's been like that for a while. I feel like I'm at the end of my dock, or is that rope? Rope. If I was at the end of my dock I'd feel better, especially if it also involved a glass of wine.
It could be the opening lines of a new song . . .
Sitting on the couch at the bay, watching the clouds . . .
Hope she feels bettah soon!
it's a rare talent that can make a storm-tossed couch look beautiful. Great photos! ... hope daughter feels better soon, but you can't possibly be playing Rappahannock H.S. in Rapphannock County, are you? that should be an overnighter game :)
Anonymous - YES, Rappahannock High School over near Tappahannock/Warsaw. I have to drive to Williamsburg to work today, then drive to Rappahannock HS, then all the way back to Mathews after the game tonight.
Also, Daughter is still not feeling great.
Serenity now.
What a peaceful spot. Perfect place for a couch.
Sorry to hear CB Daughter is under the weather. Hope she's better soon.
I love these shots. Hope baby girl is better. xoxo
