The Hesitant Storm

This storm seemed to be hesitating at the shoreline before continuing his journey out to sea. Dipping his toes in to test the waters if you will. Knowing full well that if the water is cold it will sap his pent up energy, he pushes forward, unable to slow his suicidal momentum.

Minutes after taking these I was blasted by 40 mph wind gusts mixed with stinging, exfoliating sand. Somehow I managed to throw my camera into it's water proof bag and then under my shirt for a mad dash back to shelter...

Is that a bearded profile I see?
