Fact of life these days, everyone's a photographer! A lot of my phone photos are better than the ones I faff around with on the DSLR! Love the soft tones and Lensbaby blur, fav.
Love seeing your beach characters, perhaps he is snap chatting! Saw a quote and thought of you "may you always have a shell in your pocket and sand between your toes". I imagine you do! Great shot :-)
This works really well for this shot, I think. The lensbaby has turned the beach into "any beach" and really puts the focus on the subject and what he is doing.

Your beach looks warmer then ours! :)
