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!!! ))) ~ Kimmers ! ♥ :O)
