Description
Hello all!!!
Leaving for vacation soon for a few weeks in lower western Michagan where my Mom lives ( going this time without the girls though...:O( - they are going beach camping with thier Dad ) ...
SO will miss them terribly but want to focus on a special time with my Mom as it is her upcomming 70th B-day in a few weeks !
So won't be around for a while after this, but
wanted to leave you with one I took last Sunday off the Santa Monica pier. I was drawn to that big beautiful sandcastle, warm setting sun ,waves and kids playing in the waves... a real southern California Summertime beachy feel!!!
By the way that beautiful Sand castle in the right corner was built gingerly by a very old & determined man = he was so into playful like with it like a kid !. I watched him for a little while before shooting this then he stood back distracted by lifegaurd who seemed to like his castle . And so I shot this scene here...( I have always REALLY admired people who can keep the child alive and imagination soaring !!!)
All captured off the Santa Monica pier this past Sunday on a family outing. Tried to get a good capture of the mood I experianced that evening with only the 10 minutes to play around with my cam kneeling down on the wooden pier. Had my 3 impatient girls calling and tugging on me to stop taking pictures and go on rides lol ..."COMonnn MOM!!!"....LOL
Always is a constant thing for me :
the whole thing of being torn between my family and my photoshoots, but I do try my best to put my girls first! a bit more challenging though when a beautiful beach scene is calling with the sound of nearby gulls and surf crashing.... "Nooooo, hey come ov'r HERE"!, the waves seems to say!!! " ;O)
Well need to start packing here pretty soon ..
thanks for all your time and comments~!!
Love to you all!!!
((( BIG HUGS!!! )))

What a tease! :) This is such a golden, flawless and most remarkable capture! The sandy beach is captured with such perfection..... So inviting and so welcoming to just sink the feet right into and feel that warm glow of the sunlight over the skin and mind! What a sand castle as well! An extremely powerful and intense image, with an incredible mood and atmosphere.....It would be a most perfect world.............. I do hope your time away is restful and is filled with peace! We await your return and your most talented artwork!
