Beach Daze

Squirrel Lookout, grass

Looks like these Squirrels may have a system where one looks for food while the other acts as a lookout.

I know it looks like I was laying on the ground when I took this but in fact the Squirrels were on the top of a hill and I was standing pretty much eye level with them at the bottom of the hill.  I just zoomed way in! It was alot easier then getting all dirty on the ground!

Sandman, Hampton Beach Sand Sculpture Contest 2009

If you have been visiting my photoblog for awhile you may remember that last year I posted alot of photos from the annual Hampton Beach Sand Sculpture contest.  This past week the 2009 contest was held. I was sadly not able to stay to see any of the finished designs but I was lucky to of least see one of the artists in the very early stages of creating his sculpture. If you want to see the photos from the 2008 Sand Sculpture competition check out the ones I posted here  last year.

Water Slide, Hampton Beach, NH

I kept processing this shot and could not decide on the best way to present it. Finally I settled on this b&w version. I think it gives these waterslides a different feeling than seeing them in color.

Hampton Beach Boardwalk

Sparkling Trumpets, Foxglove flower, Cone flower, wet, rain

I think this is called a Foxglove flower. I took this photo right after a rainstorm and the sparkling water on the flowers were like diamonds.

Hawaiian Ice, Shaved Ice, Bike, Popcorn

Nothing better then Shaved Ice on a hot day! This was taken at the Hampton Beach Boardwalk in Hampton, NH.

Street Sweeper

Looks like this Street Sweeper needs to be cleaned up just as much as the streets do!

I don’t really know if this is a church or what but I really liked the look of this old steeple. This was taken in Brockton, MA right before a huge thunderstorm Memorial Day weekend. It is located right across the street from Cape Cod Pizza which is where we had just had lunch before.  Also if you are ever in that area and looking for great pizza I highly recommend Cape Cod Pizza (oh and their famous Greek Salads are awesome too!)

The Treasure Hunter, Hampton Beach, Metal Detector

Wonder if he found any buried treasures?

Buttercups, flowers
