ROCK THE SHOT - SUMMER VACATION - JULY PHOTO CHALLENGE

My dad, before he passed away, told me he'd always be right there, over my shoulder, watching over me. Hence the inspiration for this photo which I have submitted to Rock the Shot's July photo challenge over at: www.rocktheshotforum.com

ROCK THE SHOT - FUN AT THE BEACH - JUNE PHOTO CHALLENGE!

So I wanted to enter Rock the Shot's  "Fun at the Beach" June photo challenge, and for the life of me could not decide which photo to enter! 
www.rocktheshotforum.com/
After a month of hesitation I finally decided on a photo, naturally on the day of the deadline! I decided to post some of the photos I was choosing from, but my chosen photo is the one I have posted first. Mainly because while the others are beach photos, this, to me, depicts two adorable little girls playing with a ball, running to the water, and simply having... "Fun at the Beach." Thank you, Rock the Shot for the opportunity! 





And here are the others in no particular order, and I deleted some of them. I started to post quite a few bird photos. I have tons of birds on the beach. And while I'm sure birds have tons of fun doing their birdie thing on the beach, I wasn't so sure this was what Rock the Shot had in mind. After all, it's a "Fun at the Beach" category, and not just On the Beach; Day at the Beach, etc. So all my birds on the beach photos will be for a later post. They can, of course, be found over at the Shutter Art by Amanda Jayne website. Having said that, I have included a few below...

These two photos are part of my new collection from my Creative Reel genre! So much fun!

SPRING HAS DEFINITELY SPRUNG!

Simple and fresh and fair from winter's close emerging,
As if no artifice of fashion, business, politics, had ever been,
Forth from its sunny nook of shelter'd grass— innocent, golden, calm as the dawn,
The spring's first dandelion shows its trustful face.

~ WALT WHITMAN ~
And here's an intricate look at a dandelion I shot last year...

And here's one from this year....

IT WAS NOT MY INTENT....

... but somehow this reminds me of a certain Hollywood starlet!
