I've always lived near water...and enjoyed the fun of playing it it, and eventually learning to swim as well. Here are some family shots of water play...(not sepia but from the past 25+ years!)

Normal day, let me be
aware of the treasure you are. Let me learn from you, love you, bless you
before you depart. Let me not pass you by in the quest of some rare and
perfect tomorrow.

Wonderful photos. The one of you sunbathing reminds me of me back in the day! I grew up blocks from the Atlantic Ocean, so I did that a lot. I sure do regret it now though because it has put me on a first name basis with my dermatologist!
ReplyDeleteOh Barb, these are wonderful! I have some really good pix from Siesta Key too but didn't think to use them. My favorite is your son jumping off the boat, but those little grands in their summer dresses is a winner too. (I'm a sucker for breezy summer dresses.)
ReplyDeleteReally great photos! I remember sunbathing like you back in the pre-sunscreen days -- starting in the backyard on the first warm days of spring to "layer" the tan as summer approached. Love the photo of your youngest son jumping! Such a grand tour of water resources -- from beaches to mountain falls -- with your family looking wonderful in all of those settings.
ReplyDeleteSuper fun! The aerialist snaphot could be a renaissance figure in a ceiling fresco. Something about families in water brings out the camera.
ReplyDeleteWater, beach, holidays they all go hand in hand. A great way to bring family together.
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos, all. But my favorite is next to last with the 3 granddaughters wading in the water, their flip-flops neatly awaiting them on the beach. Back in the day we called them "go-aheads" rather than flip-flops. Did you ever hear that term?
ReplyDeleteI loved playing in the sand when I was very young--Your photos remind me of some I have of myself as a child.
ReplyDeleteA lovely collection...of photos and family
ReplyDeleteI love seeing the warm, beauty photos on this snowy day.
ReplyDeleteNice happy family water photos. Your son jumping off the boat is the closest anyone gets to diving.
ReplyDeleteI love the Smoky Mountains photo
