The week before school started our family took our annual beach vacation. The first day is always long with traveling there, getting stuck in Saturday traffic and getting unpacked and set up at the condo, but we still managed to get an hour in at the beach before going to the grocery store. This week I chose this picture from our trip to use as the cover photo for a story I self published on Amazon as an ebook. The story isn't about my children but is just one of my favorite shots from this year. The book is something that I had planned to be much longer, but I finished it for a contest and actually liked how it turned out as a shorter story. It is available free for Amazon Prime members. If you are interested you can check it out. I hope to get some feedback to help me with some of the writing projects I have going on currently.
My youngest wasn't in the first shot so he is getting his own picture. I love how the sun at the end of the day is coloring the shot. A whole different light than the early morning sunrise light and colors.

It looks a beautiful beach. By the way your book isn't free on Amazon UK - I'll have a look at the sample.
ReplyDeleteI love the beach, and shots of children frolicking there are precious...and memorable.

ReplyDeleteI can see why you selected the first photo as your cover. It really captures the essence of summer -- young and carefree.
