the beach

I really LOVE going to the beach. We are so blessed to live only 40 minutes away. It was just the girls and I on Saturday. I told them that if they played nicely together in the morning, we would go to the beach in the afternoon. I think we finally left the house around 2:30pm. Kinda late, I know! By the time we got there, it was clouding over and really cold.





M decided it was perfect weather to hunt for seashells and was loving finding little "beach lagoons" in which to wash them off.





I'm a sucker for photos of hands and feet. I had fun playing around with some black and white convesions of these. What do you think?







An hour after we arrived, it stated to rain. Yep, rain. Poor A was freezing and walked back to the car whimpering with her head all covered up. We still had a great time, though. I can't wait to go back on a nicer day.

    Your photos are absolutely amazing...I love them! When did you start getting into photography?

    Kristina,

    Grace and I loved looking at your Blog today. You are soooo artistic!! I wish we lived close to you so you could take pictures of our new baby. Sadly, we are very poor photographers.

    It is wonderful that you live so close to the beach. I loved going to the beach in Southern California as a young boy growing up.

    I hope someday we might be able to visit you guys in Orlando and get to know you and your girls better. It was wonderful for us to see David a few weeks ago in San Antonio.

    Blessings,

    Ben

    Very sweet pictures. How lucky are you that you live somewhere that you can go to the beach in the middle of February!

    I love all of these but my favorite is the one with the feet in the sand...the angle that you took that photo is so different for a foot photo...I LOVE it!

    Beautiful pics of your beautiful girls, as always! I wish we could have gone with you. We're going Friday--hope the weather's good.

    I always love your black & white pics, but I think I like those particular ones better in color. I like the way the color of M's hands pops out against the monochromatic background. Just my opinion, though--they're beautiful either way.

    All your photos are so awesome. Nice and crisp. I so love the beach and miss it. When we lived in Fl I think we went to the beach everyday.
