Life is short!
Have you ever had a day where you wanted to trash the plan?
Maybe kick your shoes off and play in the sand?
Study your shadow…
Build sand castles…
Think quietly about the meaning of life…
or splash and play like there is no tomorrow?
I know….Me too! Life is short and I only have these moments once. I was rescued from striving to have it all.
I was spinning my wheels,
but then I saw the light. In the process realized I have everything I need.
and I never looked back!
and I am here to tell you, “Life couldn’t be any sweeter!”.
All photographs are original and taken during my travels throughout the course of our day. Thanks to Jordan for letting me share them and Lora and the Sisters for encouraging me on!

Gorgeous photos, Amber. I love the little storyline, too. You make me excited to get my camera back! A tip, don’t drop your camera on concrete, the camera won’t like it. Eek.

What a post! I’m glad to see a family savoring life.
But to think that we had snow falling this morning!

Thanks for reminding me that not all is that bad down here in the F-L-A during the winter!
…and I learned to trash the plan a looong time ago!

You did a good job of blending just a few words and some great pictures to create the mood. I think that taking pictures encourages us to savour each moment. Some part of our mind is constantly framing potential shots, thinking of the caption we would assign.
