Seawall at Seventy

So there was this day when it hit 70 degrees and sunny in the middle of April. I hope everyone got outside that day because it was absolutely gorgeous out and melted away every single memory of the winter blues! I headed straight for the beach in the afternoon and of course I brought my camera with me. It wasn't going to be a typical beach day but a photoshoot day, and I located myself amongst...

Waves were no longer breaking parallel to the beach but at all sorts of odd...

But the day got away and before I knew it the sun was sinking lower in the sky. I was on my way home but luckily I still had my camera with me, so with one eye on the road and the other eye on the setting sun, I headed...
