My wife and I just returned from our first week-long childless trip in over five years. It was a fun and relaxing vacation that took us out of this cold Canadian February, and brought us to Universal Studios Florida, and then on to a remote island in the Bahamas for my cousin’s wedding.
While on a relaxing morning walk along the beech, we picked up some shells and starfish, some island treasures, to bring home to our boys. They loved the gifts, especially the starfish.

pretty!
Thanks, and thanks for stopping by. I like your blog, the long-legged silhouette post is great.
Nice, soft, dreamy photo.
Thanks! I kind of wish I owned a macro lens, but I was happy with my results using my old Minolta 58 f/1.4
Beautiful image! Your image was just featured by wordpress. http://en.blog.wordpress.com/2014/03/03/february-hot-list/
Congratulations!
Oh my god! I saw the pingback and just assumed that it was from another blogger. That blows my mind… thanks for letting me know. It’s funny, because the photo was the result of a simple idea, took about two minutes to setup and shoot, and viola. Of course, the stuff I put a lot of effort into gets nothing… go figure.
Haha. Sometimes, the simple ideas are the ones that get noticed. I think our eyes are sometimes drawn to that. Maybe in those simple ideas, we express truly what is in our heart. I see that in this post.
Glad I was able to point out the post. Well deserved recognition. 🙂
I saw this image in the WordPress email yesterday (?)! It is lovely! Congrats! Cackie
You’re right, it was on the email yesterday. It was definitely a pleasant surprise. Thanks so much for the comment.
