Lucy takes a dip…

Success! Lucy started crawling through the water today. She has been so timid at the beach, until now. Things have just gotten a lot more exhausting at the shore for everyone!

Still working through my sunrise shots…

This is another shot from my early morning walk in Wildwood, NJ. I didn’t realize how many shots I took, until I started doing some processing in Lightroom! This is a shot I really like. The water running up onto the beach wasn’t very interesting and didn’t add much to the image. So, I cropped it a bit to focus more on the angle of the sun rays. I love the line of highlighted clouds. My eyes were drawn to those clouds immediately! What do you think?

Found a friend…

I found plenty of horseshoe crab shells while walking down the beach, but here I actually found one that was still alive! For some reason, the seagulls chose to let this one live…

Calm and peaceful…

While shooting this sunset, I kept hoping that the sun would stay in this position. Who needs a bright hot day? (This particular day the high temperature was in the 100’s!)

The Sunrise continues….

I was not the only person with a camera on this beach…. As I have said before, this is probably the best reason to be a morning person, actually for me it’s the only reason!

A day at the beach….

Wow, 5 days away from my computer, email, Facebook, and blog! I think it’s good to get away from technology every now and then, keep yourself from becoming too dependent on it… so I spent my time away at the Jersey Shore (the real one, not the one most of you are familiar with!). These are not my beach toys, but their colorful layout caught my eye. They are a perfect example of fun at the beach! (I’m also thinking this is what it will look like when Lucy hits the beach next year, we’ll all get a workout digging for her 🙂 )
