Solstice Weekend in South County

On the Saturday evening before the summer solstice, I took a drive around South County to photograph at a few of my favorite spots in Matunuck and Point Judith. A few pop up rain showers coming through just before sunset led to some awesome lighting, sky conditions, and a couple rainbows. What a way to kick off the summer.

King Tide in Providence

Photos from a walk along the river and Waterplace Park during last night's king tide. The high tide at 7:24pm was 5.8 feet, over a foot above average, which led to some minor flooding along the riverwalk. A few spots had over 6 inches of water!
