Beach Ball

I quite liked the shadows on the beach in this shot.

This was taken a couple of days ago when it was so windy. I suspect the ball blew too far away from the owners grasp and got left behind. The ball was in quite a bad way though, so no great loss.

Lovely beach shot

And after this lovely shadowed shot, Babs was off, running up the beach, kicking the ball and pretending to be a pro footballer.....

[Diana]

Wonderful patterns in the sand.

@casablanca What do you mean 'pretending', I was an excellent footballer in my youth. I tended to play with the boys because the girls always did soppy things like play with dolls.

[Kate]

Nice lines and shadow

[Esther Rosenberg]

I don't live in your area, so it couldn't have been ours....kids....LOL. Nice shade , sand patterns and the sunny glow.

That blown away ball is making quite a statement....could almost be a planet in the sky.

shadows of the ripples are rather lovely I agree. And the ball turns the image into a story telling one.

Good catch- I like the story of it- the footprints and abandoned ball- poor thing has been left behind!
