One of the greatest challenges of seaside photography for me is the timing between taking my camera outside of an air-conditioned car or house and taking a shot. My timing was suberbly off in this instance, but I thought the condensation created as spooky a sand picture as I’ve seen.
Topsail Beach, North Carolina.
Quote of the day: “And hand in hand, on the edge of the sand,
They danced by the light of the moon.” — Edward Lear
(As an aside, this quote is from The Owl and the Pussycat. My Mother put the poem to a tune, and sang it to me when I was little. Once I had Kelsea, I remembered it, and sang it to her. My Mother heard me singing it to her once, and was so delighted that I remembered her little tune, that has now stood the test of time and generations.)
Daily gratitudes:
Having Kelsea home safe from her long road trip
Seeing my husband today (since we don’t live in the same house yet)
How nice the word ‘husband’ feels in my spirit
A slightly cooler day
Mr. Man laying on my heart in the middle of the night

The owl and the pussy cat went to sea in a beautiful pea green boat…plenty of honey and lots of money wrapped in a five pound note. I may have some of that backwards, my mother used to sing that to us too. Thanks for the reminder.

The photo looks formal the world like the beach in winter -reeds and grasses bending in a snow storm! Fab.

Interesting perspective, KS. Nothing formal here. ❤

That should be “for all the world” not “formal”. Gotta love autocorrect.
