Digging
Yesterday, my son and I went to build sandcastles by the sea. We set off in our Winter woollies, gumboots, buckets and spades, ready for anything. I took time out to take a few photos, as you do!!
Taken at Christies Beach, South Australia.
One for a bubble challenge!! My 2009 resolution… go to the beach lots more often!! Whether its rain or shine!!

Love this !!! Love the composition…. the spade in the foreground tells the story so well…..
my mind goes straight to images of all those summers I spent at the beach as a kid.
