The day was too pretty and too warm to stay home, so off to Long Beach we went. Camera in hand (of course) and a few good snaps to be had.
The Boardwalk is LONG and we managed about 4 miles of it, there and back so I did not feel too bad about my glass of wine and a nibble on a scoop of Truffle and Parmesan French Fries!
This little fellow was just so darn cute he begged a picture, even though he barked like mad after the fact!!
And then there were the faces ... and Engine Four ....
Nothing like some sunshine and a few great pictures......



That's a fine wine shot, Marie. Using extreme Macro on that wine glass and dog created a remarkable effect - the dog with a seashore background was like "Are you talking to me?". LOL How about the last two pictures? Are they your shots?

I'm putting that walk on my things to do list for when I travel. It looks wonderful. The glass reminds me of a soft sculpture I saw .

A lovely set of photos. I especially like the way you have done the first picture :-)

Looks like a fun day. And that capture in the wine glass is inspired!

Oh, the wine shot is COOL!
that fireman photo is so ripe for a sketch. I love the greyscale on that one.

The glass of wine is a beautifully composed image. You've captured attitude so well with the dog. I love the feeling of the black and white photos; they convey a timeless feeling.
