You know those blogs filled with amazing pictures, captioned by only a few words, that seem to say more than some other blogs say with ten paragraphs?
I’m going to pretend I’m one of them. Except that, well, I’m not. I have a regular ol’ little point and shoot camera and I’m the farthest thing from a photographer.
But because my brain has been elsewhere this past week, I’m pretending. I like pretending.
Bear with me, mmkay?
The unseasonably warm weather is perfect for evening walks in the sand and waves
~Flip flops~
A little unsure at first, but by the end of the evening, he was toddling full speed into the waves. We’ll have to keep an eye on that one.
Forever… and ever…

Our pier… beauty.
Hoping all of you dear ones are finding moments of peace in the midst of it all…

Great photographs!!! I am a photographer and I say your composition is great. What makes them great is that you captured the beauty of life. And that, my dear friend, is what makes a photograph great!

Beautiful photos, Ashleigh! You don’t have to pretend to be a photographer, you captured love and light perfectly. I enjoyed your sweet, sweet photos of a memorable afternoon.
Thank you for the link and the kind words.

For a point and shoot camera-girl, you are none the less in possession of a healthy eye for ‘the moment’. I love these shots. You know, sometimes the simple, unforced snaps reveal the most beauty.
