The Beach
Since we didn't get on the road until 11 on Saturday we had to go to the closest beach to us; not quite as spectacular as some other beaches. That didn't prevent us from having fun, though. But once again I took way too many pictures. They (including my husband) played in the sand for hours, and I didn't have anything to do but take pictures--I'm not supposed to dig in the dirt, am I? But today I'm only sharing a few for Sweet Shot Tuesday, and one for Texture Tuesday.
It was a pretty rocky beach and the seaweed gunk? Ugh!
But it makes for an interesting texture! Wait, that isn't what Texture Tuesday is about?
Here is a shot that does have one of Kim Klassen's Textures added--Cracker Jack as per this week's challenge. Added at 100% opacity Soft Light Blending Mode. Gives it a fun aged/vintage feel.
But this is one of my favorite shots from the day, especially with their clear reflection. We all did have a wonderful day. Though I'll admit my favorite time was when I finally got them to stand in the shade! I get hot just looking at the sun bouncing off of them in most of the day's shots!
Their outfits are even almost coordinated! What were they thinking when they got dressed?

That last shot is so cute! I like how that texture gave a nice vintage look too :)
I love shots of the ocean, even the gunky 'texture' seaweed! Beautiful work on the crackerjack texturing.
the texture is great with that shot it does a vintage feel you are right. Your children look like they had a wonderful time at the beach.
Wonderful seaside images!
Having a camera can help save your sanity when in a "boring" situation. I think this is why I have so many photos of the beach too. You have ended up with some nice shots..... and less frustration.
looks like it has been a real good trip!! love the photos... and we can find texture everywhere, can´t we?
These are great, I love the one with the boys and their reflection!
Oh, the long hot days of Summer when you are a child are just total joy. Great shots...I like the reflection one the best, too.

Looks like a good day was had by all. I'm only dreaming of the seaside at the moment! The texture works well. But my fav is your beautiful children.
Such happy times, you've conveyed that beautifully in your photos. The shot for texture tuesday is especially lovely, the light is gorgeous and the feel to the whole thing is so appealing. Teresa x
All that seeweed....beautiful captures!
Lovely photos.
I love the 3rd one, with it's vintage look.
It looks like a very, very fun day at the beach! Love it. Can you even believe that summer is almost over?
Beautiful photos with a delicious light, I like children very much reflected in the water.
Summer has been over for a few weeks here and the chill in the mornings is a testament to that. Your shots also make me miss living within an 30 minute's driving of a large, clean water source to enjoy...
What a great series of photos -- I really love your textured shot; it gives it such a soft, vintage effect. The shot of the two boys walking together is great; they look like they are enjoying the moment.
Beautiful set of photos! I really love the vibrant colors in the first one.
I agree with your favorite and love the reflection too! Glad you enjoyed a nice day at the beach ... hope the first day of school goes smoothly for all!
sounds like a wonderful day!
The reflection shot is really beautiful! I like the soft use of the texture on the water. Really pretty.

Beautiful seashore :)
The shore looks inviting - where is it? BTW, you have a beautiful family!
The seaweed has texture in itself - but I like the next picture better;) Nice texture effect. Lovely children!
Adorable kids, Cedar! Love ocean shots, always! It's like taking pictures of another planet! Thanks for sharing!
All your shots are beautiful. I love the texture on the sea of course but reflection does it for me every time. Lovely work Cedar.
