Saturdays shifting away from the beach.
A photo for the month.
A picture that sums up what this September has been for our family.
One only has to look at today’s date, the 11th, to realize how powerful one photograph can be.
A last trip of the summer to the beach left me with this image.
Sand and water and sky.
There were lots of photos with my loved one sitting in beach chairs enjoying good wine and food.
Like paper dolls, I could cut and paste images of my sister, my daughter, my mother and I into this background of the surf and water. Having conversations, eating a few too many chips and laughing at even the littlest of things as the evening wore on.
I like this empty vista. A beach set to tip toward fall. You can tell by looking at her, she is thinking that it is time to start slowing down and relax a bit after the bustle of the summer crowd — preparing for the raw of winter.
But I won’t chose that picture. I’ll select this one.
A few Saturdays ago, we went to see my son at college.
After the game, the players come back on the field and family and friends get to say hi.
My son passed me and walked out with his father. Then I saw his two siblings running after him. I grabbed my camera to get a photo — but I was running late, probably after messing around trying to get the perfect Instagram shot of the scoreboard. Good grief.
This is what I got.
It makes me happy.
