These are my (mostly) swimsuit interpretations for this week's Scavenger Hunt Sunday challenge.
WHIMSY: Curious George Goes to the Beach. In New Hampshire. In March.
CREATE: It wasn't the hole they're digging, rather the memories they're creating that struck me.
{No, I've never seen a garden hoe at the beach either.}
{No, I've never seen a garden hoe at the beach either.}
SEED: My read on this look? He's just had a thought that's likely to grow into something mischievous.
SWING/DROP: The water drops cascading from his fingers starkly contrast with his ferocious shovel-swinging.
I couldn't leave out his follow-through, slam'n'dunk, and his frighteningly triumphant look.

. . . and her—the one who seems torn between the group and what lies beyond.
Yeah, I just wanted to take her home for awhile. I'd have given her back. Honest.

ReplyDeleteHere in DE, we did this all winter....doesn't bode well for the length of a long,unmercifully hot summer.
ReplyDeleteMy best buddy and her kids came on vacation with me and mine two summers in a row and taught me to bring a spade and a shovel to dig better holes and build better sand castles. All the kids near us joined in the fun on a daily basis.
More great Cheryl photos!
