The Sands Of Time

The sands of time are filling up that hour glass as we inch closer to our Golden Anniversary... I look back on all the good times we have shared and the storms we have weathered together, hoping we'll have many more. Happy Anniversay to the man I married 47 years ago today.
Loved you then, Love you now, Love you ALWAYS .....
When I saw a photo friends sand heart picture he did at the beginning of the summer I knew this would be our anniversary picture. It was harder to do than I thought but I was determined. My phone survived and yes we did fill the hole when we were done. ALWAYS fill any holes you make on the beach......
Very beautiful and what a wonderful photo idea. Brilliant 🀩
Wishing you both very happy wishes and congratulations 🎈🎈🎈
I loooove romance and this is really cool. πŸŽ΅πŸŽΆπŸ™

Happy Anniversary. Great capture. That's some framing to dig the hole like that. Surprised that it didn't keep caving in.

@jgpittenger my first try I failed but tried again the next day. What I changed on my second try. I brought a bucket to fill with water to wet the area of sand that would be my heart. Didn't want to be anywhere near the surf but you definitely need wet sand. Second try instead of a little shovel I used my hands. The hearts not really that big. I put my phone down on a plastic baggie and drew a heart around it, leaving plenty of room. I dug the heart out with my hands about to my elbow. Make a flat level bottom for the phone to lay on. I placed the small plastic bag on the bottom and then laid my phone on top. Reversed the camera (like your taking a selfie) may sure you have it on wide angle setting. (.5 on my iPhone ) Once you are happy with what you are seeing ( I had to wiggle my phone around a little) I had Bob looking in the hole and I reached down to lock the focus . Set camera timer , touch to take picture and get in position. We tried a few times before I got something I liked. Hope this makes sense
