Dear pesky godson, Yes, I did follow your suggestion and I slipped into the water after midnight.  Comparing it to all those Vineyard dips : Like the Vineyard, I was alone in the water. Unlike the Vineyard,  I didn’t have to worry about tripping on a skunk, and that was a relief. However, the […]
This place is paradise for me because the photo-ops are unlimited. I get my saturated, vibrant colors and uncluttered backgrounds, and, sometimes, willing subjects. In this photo, I wanted her and I wanted the boat in the background. She faced me as I knelt down low to the water, but she must have moved as […]
