Okay, we are going back to my trip to South Carolina in August again! I still have some photos that I haven't posted yet so I thought I'ld share this one today.

My Sister in Law and I went down to the beach as I wanted to get some photos for them to pick one for me to paint for them. I took alot of different shots then we decided to lay on the beach and just relax. Shortly there after these two little boys came running by pulling this raft and proceeded to hop in the water and ride the waves. They would pull it in a few feet, then hop in a ride the few feet to shore, they did this for 1/2 an hour and we didn't take our eyes off them as we never saw anyone with them, Oh I'm sure that Mom or Dad was on the beach somewhere but it honeslty scared me to death as alls it would take would be for one of these cute little boys to fall in and no one to notice for just a quick sec and then there wouldn't be happy faces like this. Twice this summer on the radio here I've heard of two little ones 4 years old or around there who have drown in pools or lakes, while their supervisors are expecting that life guards are watching them. You never can be too careful, never. So we watched these little boys until there older sister wanted a turn on the raft.
I have to say it was fun watching them , they sure did have a good time!!

Looking at this makes one immediately pick up on the joy of these two little guys. A great moment captured with good color. I agree with your note though, I would be worried sick about their safety. TFS

Many thanks for your comment on ‘North Esk Reflections’. PS your birthday photo was a couple ago :)

Hi Donna,
A great job catching the glee all over these boys! Glad one of them is looking for the next wave. Nice light--was this early morning or evening?
You've reminded me of our time in North Carolina, and I think I might be ready for some wave riding after my last series!
Have a great day,
Karen

En esta imagen, los niños aparecen encantados de la vida.
Bellos rostros, que reflejan felicidad.
Saludos, JL.

Fun, Donna! A great shot of surf and light and summer. Glad Karen's post pointed us this way for the inspiration. The composition and POV are just right. The color on the boat really pops. I'd love to see the expression of the lad on right just a bit better -- looks like he's having a blast :)
Congrats!
Jim
