A Lost Cause?

More from Rutherford Beach, Louisiana.

This landscape was surreal. It was Easter weekend of last year when a group of us went down to Elspeth's family vacation house about an hour drive east of Rutherford Beach. The area had been hit hard by storms of the recent past. There were layers of rebuilding attempts that were totally indecipherable. Ruined foundations amidst a network of communicative wires were finding harmony amongst the battered palms and shifting sandy terrain.

I know that home is a tough place to give up and the loss of one I have fortunately never experienced. It just seems as though there are some places that the earth wants to herself and Rutherford Beach appeared to be one of those places.
