 Shot while out and about with Johanna and Bob. 'Twas a delightful get together!

Note - that isn't spray on the lens - it's refraction/reflection of the sun off the water droplets in the air. Not to say I don't get spray (and sand!) on the lens from time to time, though.

And yes, surfer, not shark. :-)

Ha. Well fooled me. I had taken some photos on an extremely windy morning by Cape Hatteras and my wide angle lens was speckled from spray. Some of my images had this exact same look - that's what led me to think that. Looks like a fun time. :-)

this is about light and the elements, passing through us, through our witness.

Darn spray on the lens. I do like the starburst and the overall scene.

Magical!! This is the best under a pier pic I think I've ever seen. The light is caught there. And the doors at the end.

What a fun title - love the idea of sun sprites! Had to do a double heck to see if that was a person or a shark in the waves LOL.
