I was at the beach waaaay to early in the morning...

Unfortunatly I didn't get enough depth of field. Hopefully there's some frosty weekend weather again, and that I manage to get up at 5am, so I can try again

Definatly too cold to go swimming. The sand was frozen solid.

This is Hedley. Her favourite game is burying her tennis ball, even shortly after dawn on a frozen beach.

They're all really great. The 2nd is my favorite by far though. It's just so bleak, and the lines in the sand are really cool. I also like the dog. Very cute.

wish i had a dog that buried stuff...

What kind of dog is she? She looks so cute!!

The detail in the first picture really catched my attention. However what makes such perfect patterns in the sand?

#2 is definitely my favorite. I really like that desolate look to the empty beach. Nice!!!

I, too, am wondering about what you're focusing on in the first image. It has a great look, but what is it??

I also like the second pic the best.

Is the first one of a tire on a car? I think it is.

I like the second one the best. The dog is pretty cool too. Interesting Idea for the tire.

The tire is a discarded frosty Firestone brand tire I found lying on the beach. I thought it might be fun to focus (unfortunatly my dof was too shallow, and I failed on the focus part) on the fire portion of the brand name.

The patterns in the sand are caused by a receeding tide and weather cold enough to freeze the little ridges caused by the waves. This was helped by a frosty morning.

The dog is a short haired Jack Russel Terrier, and she's burying her tennis ball in the wet sand. I've a couple jacks, but one is far more interested in hunting beach rodents than posing for a picture or two The photo of Hedley looks better when it's larger. It's kinda boreing as it is here.

Thanks for the kind words. Makes me wanna go out and blow a few rolls this weekend

The frozen tire is different anyway but you're right in that a little more DOF would've helped.
Really like that second one of the frozen beach, definitely different and interesting.
The last one is just a plain cute shot of the dog, probably means more to you though.

a tire... I didn't even notice the fire from firestone until just now. Anyways the desolation of the second if my favorite.
