Beaching it

The posts have been lacking. I know. But it's summer. Summer is about abandoning everything you do during the cold months and concentrating on the fun, careless entertainment of simple things. Like sand castles.

There is something so enrapturing about running your hands through sand, filling buckets and shapes and creating temporary creatures which the waves will eventually swallow. I have never been good at building with sand, but that hasn't stopped me, especially now that my daughter is just discovering the wonderfully simple enjoyment of it all.

These guys are slightly more serious about sand that I ever will be.




The above pictures were taken at South Street Seaport in the middle of NYC.. if they can find sand there, anyone can find it.

Wishing you a breeze summer full of fun in the sand, and maybe a sand castle or two.
