Trip to the Beach

My birthday was this past Thursday (9/23), so I took a few days off work. Once we finally had some sun here in Seattle, I took the morning and went to the beach. So this week I'm simply posting a few images from my trip. Enjoy!

“The Sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever.”

--Jacques Cousteau

Change Your Mind

If we could see the miracle of a single flower clearly, our whole life would change. - Buddha

My challenge to everyone this week is to look around, REALLY look. Explore the subject of your images as if it's something miraculous & rare, something you've never seen before. Study it from every angle. Try to find a unique approach. Sometimes we get so used to seeing something that it just becomes mundane. This is when we have to challenge ourselves as creative human beings to see the beauty all around. How has this improved your photography? Leave a comment and let us know.

Day at the Beach

I absolutely LOVE the beach, always have. It's my "go-to" place to relax, reflect, and just enjoy nature. Today, I'm in the mood to go and enjoy the day, so I'm simply posting a few images from a recent trip down to the beach. Happy viewing :)!
