Blue skies. Tangled hair. Picnic for two. We threw the towels in the car, grabbed the sunscreen, and scrambled out to the sea for a day of snacking, sunbathing and shell-hunting. While I scoured for sea treasures, Joe fingered his way through two or three homemade bagels slathered with the vegetable cream cheese that I whipped up in the dark hours of the morning. We spent the afternoon knocking back a bottle of cranberry lemonade and snacking on salted peanuts and almonds, finishing things off with slivers of cantaloupe and the sugary orange Pâtes de fruits that I made on a quiet evening last week. When the sea receded to the high noon sun, we wandered out onto the sand banks, watching the hermit crabs wander the tide pools, and tickling the toes of the sea anemones, whose hiding places lay exposed in the shallow waters. We took leave, at last, when the folds of my bathing suit could hold no more shells and sand had coated our reserve of treats. Farewell for now dear sea!
she shells.

those photos are incredible, logs. what is the black framing around the lens?
ReplyDeletethanks! the photos were taken with a fish lens, and the black part of the photo is a result of the adapter used to attach the lens. i forgot my canon at home when we rushed off to the beach, but i had my work camera. we use this lens to take photos of the forest canopy.
ReplyDeleteah, that's way cool. Way to use the perks of the job. They're absolutely beautiful.
