getting off the ground.....

maybe by now you've all gone running from my blog, covering your eyes and screaming,

"nooooo, not more beach photos."

that's why i started with this flower. just to reel you in....snort.

those of you who follow me or know me, truly know my love of finding and talking to strangers. 

and if i can get them to jump for me, ohhhhh, then that's a perfect day.

this family was beyond what i could ask for. 

they were sweet and smiley and didn't roll their eyes when i said,

"just one more."

but getting them all off the ground at the same time, just wasn't going to happen.

so in the photo above and the one below i had them take turns.

first the kids jumped. then just the parents. 

i mean, why not.

and then alone, one by one, the girls did their super jumps for me.

thank you-thank you-thank you-amazing family from louisiana.

you made my day.

i have a fascination with seaweed.

unless i'm standing in the ocean and it continues to wrap itself around me.

then i'm kind of grossed out.

we were sitting at the seaside sushi restaurant, whose eating area is literally in the parking lot, when this jeep drove by. i had been taking photos of the flowers on our table, so my camera was ready. 

i looked over at him, smiled and i got this in return.

under those foster grants, i know he's winking at me.

i mean really, you can't do the "finger gun thingy" without making a little clicking noise in your mouth

and winking. right?

and now honestly, you just did the "finger gun thingy" to see if i'm right, didn't you?
