Beach Day

Usually it's not warm enough here to go to the beach until after July 4th. So we're ahead of schedule! I took my older camera today- an Olympus E500, I hardly ever use it anymore but it does have a 40-150mm zoom which I wanted to use today. My husband decided to take the sail boat out so I wanted to try and capture him sailing. While he was doing that we all went down to the little beach. Griffin has been sick so it's not the best representation of him but he was having such a great time in the sand and water...it's the first time he's really been old enought to play. I decided to convert to black and white just for something a little different. Funny how it makes it seem like it's not very sunny out. You can see by the shadows on his face though that it was bright out.

This sea gull was SO BOLD. He walked right onto our blanket and stole grapes from our tupperware! By the time we managed to get to our blanket he had dragged the whole bunch over the sand in an attempt to get one free from the vine. Unbelievable, I thought they only liked chips and sandwiches and stuff!

Here's a sailing one. It's just a little boat but it gets going really fast in a brisk wind. Lots of fun!
