Windswept

I love taking photos of patterns in the sand and on this day the hot wind was so strong it stung our legs as we walked on the beach.

I only took a couple of photos this day because I didn't want to get grains of sand in my camera but I quite liked this one with my sandals in the picture. That was quite unintentional but I think it works.

Hey @dide those look like your shoes on the beach .... Great shot Babs...

[Babs]

@julzmaioro Ha ha, how lucky I found them when they washed up on the beach, she doesn't want them back does she, they are just my size. @dide

[Shari]

Wonderful shot.

[Fr1da]

lovely textures !

[Kerri Michaels]

wish those were mine fav

[KWind]

Pretty! I love the textures and composition,.

[Dianne]

Ok Babs - you can keep them - like Cinderella....
Nice image.

[Ron]

The sandals definitely work. Must have been a subconscious force at work. Neat capture.

[Brennie B]

Very nice..love the feel of some one kicking their sandles off and running across that beach with the wind in their hair.wished it was me!

[Kathy A]

Looks great with @dide sandals in the corner

[Beryl Lloyd]

The sandals certainly works - but I am looking for the footprints ( seen a few !!)

[Casablanca]

The wind eroding the footprints away........I can feel the sting of that sand as I read this! Ouch!

[Peter]

Interesting patterns, tones and textures well spotted Babs:)

[Dione Giorgio]

Perfect idea of including the sandals. They look like they want to tell the day's story. The picture would have been dull without them.

[Sam]

yeh your sandals add the "special sauce" to your photo :)

[Lou Ann]

Great photo. I like your sandal’s shadow.

[Henri Russell]

Super composition.

[Merrelyn]

It sure does :)

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Good eye and a great shot, Babs.

[Angela]

Yes, i like the sandals

[gloria jones]

Great pov and use of negative space

[JackieR]

This is lovely and sooooooooooooooooo inviting

[Sue Cooper]

I love this.

[Taffy]

Love this with the pair of sandals in just the right place.

[Pat Knowles]

It works beautifully Babs! Fave.

[Carole Sandford]

If there was a pile of clothes too, I would have said it was reminiscent of Reggie Perrin!

[Trinka]

I love deserted beaches. :-)

[Claude Trew]

Great image.

[Helen Jane]

gorgeous patterns and texture and I agree, the placement of the sandals works really well. Fav.

@sstcowan @fr1da @moviegal1 @kwind @stray_shooter @brennieb @kjarn @beryl @pcoulson @sangwann @gigiflower @louannwarren @henrir @merrelyn @mittens @angelar @seattlite @30pics4jackiesdiamond @susiemc @taffy @happypat @carole_sandford @trinkaholub @claudiet @helenhall Thanks, I agree the sandals do work well in this shot and it was a complete fluke.

@dide Thanks so much Dianne, they are very comfy sandals. Maybe now I will meet my handsome prince. Oh I almost forgot I already have him.

@casablanca It was a very hot, windy day and the sting of the sand was so painful. It wasn't too bad when it was behind us but when we turned to walk back down the beach the sand was in our faces too and that was not good. Good job I was wearing sunnies or I would have had gritty eyes.

@carole_sandford Indeed. I remember Reggie Perrin.

[Sheralee S]

Nicely composed shot Babs. Hope your sand-blasted legs survived :)

[Islandgirl]

Nicely composed Babs!

[Myrna O'Hara]

Nice shot

[Leslie]

Guess the sand wasn't too hot and the sandals really add to the shot.

[sarah]

Yes it works - such a great shot

[Lois]

Wonderfully composed.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Those sandals make me want to take a walk on this beach- ok since it's 7 degrees F. right now, I'd like to take a walk on ANY warm beach! Great shot!

[Valerie Chesney]

Beautiful Babs, I so like to do this too

[Marnie]

Beautiful patterns there Babs, the sandals make for a very intriguing photo.

[Babs]

@bella_ss Yes my legs survived.

@radiogirl @sailingmusic @samae @loweygrace @happysnaps @golftragic Thanks I think the sandals work in this photo too.

@lesip The sand was quite warm but the strong wind cooled it down slightly. I just have tough feet, ha ha.

@olivetreeann You will have to visit one day. I don't think I could cope with 7 degrees F. I have just worked out that it must be equivalent to about minus13 c. Too cold for me.

[haskar]

Great composition and textures.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

@onewing Too cold for me too! In my dreams I inherit more money than I know what to do with from some distant relative I never knew existed and then embark on a "365 Tour" where I visit all the people and places I've been introduced to on 365. Maybe someday...!
