NBG Class and Northeaster on Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel

My Watercolor Workshop at Norfolk Botanical Garden.

Northeaster on the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel.

 
HI, I'm home safe and sound. I had a class in Norfolk yesterday. We painted leaves and chickadees and cardinals. I brought Brusho . I just got it this week. Wonderful stuff. They had a ball with it and got great results. You sprinkle it on clear water and it bursts into little sprays of color. Class was wonderful!

There was a Northeaster coming!! Which is hard gusts of wind and rain for hours, this was coming early afternoon. Amy and Renee both offered me to stay with them if I couldn't cross the bridge. They were so very kind to do that and I talked to both when I got home. The CBBT closes for safety of course with high winds. It was still open but I had a grip on that steering wheel.. Gusts of wind and waves with white caps almost touching the bottom of the buildings at the tunnels. I was so very thankful to get on the Eastern Shore. The Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel is 17 miles long with 2 tunnels and is a gorgeous place when the weather is nice.

Hope you are having a wonderful weekend and staying warm and dry. Love to you,Diana

    Glad you are safe! I get the chills just reading about your drive across the bridge. The photo is scary. You are a brave soul.

    Glad you made it home safely, Diana. I love storms and never have experienced a n'oreaster. As long as everybody stays safe, I think storms are fabulous!

    Dear Diana - so glad you got home safe. It is so scary when the weather turns wild to be away from familiar surroundings. Take care and have a great week. Hugs
