otohPhoto: Strolling on the Beach

So… back during the first week of July (such a distant, faded memory now…) I got to spend some time at the beach. I watched the sunset almost every night and took way more photos of them than is in any way sensible. [Blame it on going digital] And on this night as I stood near the water’s edge some girl comes strolling along. And suddenly I realized, “Hey, THAT’s a pretty cool shot.” So I shot. [Right place, right time, crime of opportunity?]

And now that I’m getting back into the daily grind of a new school year, I want to drift away….

Beautiful picture!! Got to grab those when you can!

Here in Michigan, we have a state law that bars public schools from starting classes before Labor Day. My “friend” is a high school history teacher and he doesn’t even go back until late next week (though he did have a writing seminar all this week). He got screwed out of a classroom this year and has to rotate amongst three rooms throughout the day. That’s got to suck.

Have a great school year Tim!!

We’re actually starting later than we have for the last few years because there is a new state law that prevents us from starting more than two weeks before Labor Day. ~Tim

AWESOME!!!! loved the pic… where are pics of you ???? that is MY question…

I much prefer staying behind the camera. There are some glimpses of me in the archives and I will peek around the other side of the lens again eventually. ~Tim

I’ve been in that back to school fog myself. Not my favorite place to be. I’ll be in a much better place once my room is ready. Speaking of which, I really should get up to school… Have a great weekend!
