Lamoine Beach, August 9, 2011 (Beachcombing series No.48)

It's been a busy week, catching up with the piles of flotsam from the summer's beaches. My Photoshop skills have improved dramatically over the last 6 months, and so have my photography skills. Funny thing is, I still don't like any of my photos instantly. I sort of take it on faith that they're decent, and it takes a month or two for me to see them for what they are, rather than what I meant them to be. I have to put them aside and not think about it for a while. On the other hand, I kind of like this one. Something about the grass and the feathers appeals to me.

I find very few feathers in the winter. I suppose there are fewer birds, and they are holding tight to their warmth! In summer, there are feathers everywhere.

Lamoine Beach. Not enough sand to make my daughter happy, no waves or rocks to please my son. Beachcombing wasn't too bad, although I only had a few minutes.
