Beach Bum

Just lounging on the beach, he portrayed an irritating aloofness with his pronounced stubble and unkempt hair continually sculpted by the wind.

A good deal of my photographic endeavor is spent at the beach, watching and waiting for a sunrise.  Sometimes the sunrise that shows up is less than spectacular.  But, I’m there with my camera; I might as well take some pictures. That’s where images like this come from.  I start looking around for something…anything…that might catch my eye.  Most of what I shoot at those times would not be worth sharing. Yet, now and then, I frame up something interesting.

For those who look, there are odd items to be found on the beach. This cockle-burr seems to be wrapped in the down shed from some shorebird.
