A day at the beach

A couple of weekends ago I went out with my dad to visit some family friends at the beach and their two adorable kids.  It was a beautiful sunny day and I had a blast playing with them in the sand.  It’s funny how universal certain sibling behavior is.  Watching them play together and throw sand at each other so reminded me of my sister and I when we were that age.  My favorite part about spending time with them is watching how creative they are.  A simple pile of sand can be a fortress or a robot or a fairytale creature lurking beneath the surface of the sand.  When do we lose that ability to see so much wonder and adventure in the world?  I guess that’s why I love photography.  For me it is how I find my way back to seeing adventure and wonderment all around.
