Beach Feet
It’s getting warm enough to spend time on the beach again. The girls and I wandered down on Sunday and spent some time running in and out of the water. It’s still a little cold for me but they had a great time.

Groodle Action
This is our new pup Indy. Indy is half Golden Retriever and half Poodle, otherwise known as a Groodle or a Golden Doodle. Whatever the name, he’s an adorable pup. I’ve taken many photos of him already but I wanted to show something of his nature. I like this shot cause it captures his playfulness and his oodles of shaggy hair.

Sometimes I am compelled to take a photo only to find that the photo is sub-standard. This is when I start thinking about why the shot is so compelling and how could I capture that essence on the camera. I keep thinking and experimenting until I get an image that works.
I came upon this boardwalk while walking around a nature reserve near my house. I really liked the look of this boardwalk cutting across this grassy/swampy area. After taking many photos, none really capture the essence of what I was seeing. I kept looking at it and then realised what intrigued me most was the line of the curve plus the muted contrast between boards and grass. I started experimenting with zoom and tilting my camera until I hit upon this image. This is what stopped me at this spot in the first place. Just tiliting my camera gave me that perfect perspective to show off the contrast and the curve.
