His Point of View

This weekend I had to take a trip down to Virginia Beach… unfortunately it was not a trip for pleasure and it rained much of the time I was there, but I was determined to spend some time at the beach rain or shine.  While I enjoyed the 60 degree November weather I snapped a few photos… I hope you enjoy viewing them as much as I enjoyed the few moments I spent on the beach enjoying the ocean spray in the air. (FYI: These photos were taken between 3:30-4:30 pm, the beach was just that empty!)

As I walked along the beach I came across roses, which were deposited in various locations scattered about randomly, and grouped in bunches of 2 or 3 roses.  I could not help but to wonder if they were remnants of a night of celebration or if they were left on the beach as a result of sadness.

Finally, I came across these two guys from Ohio, who were very much excited to find a location with 60 degree weather and no snow during the last day of  November, so they could not help but to go for a swim in the frigid waters of the Atlantic Ocean.  After they noticed me taking a photo of them from afar, they asked that I use my phone’s camera to email/text a photo of them in the ocean to several of their friends and family members, which I agreed to do as they were so excited to be there that I could not help but to be happy as well.

I think I will start a new periodic piece here called a moment to share, where I will post random things that I have observed or heard personally out in the “real world”.  I will begin with these B&W photos I took around DC during two afternoons/nights this summer (2009).

Remembering our Veterans and their families who sacrificed so much in the name of this nation.
