i still have some straggling photos from our trip out east that i can’t resist sharing with you all.  i hope you’re not sick of these beach photos …

and this entry will be more photos than text.

my little goober has become such a poser, even downtown Lunenburg, me belly-in-the-gutter, people passing by, he just sat there watching the people …

i almost chose this image as our new large, studio canvas, but i was voted out by my partner …

no worries, you’ll be seeing photos of the new canvas soon.

in the meantime, more fun at the beach …

and the iron rocks we discovered along a back road … there was a lot of coyote scat in this location, so we kept a close eye out and played it safe.  matea’s already picked a fight with a coyote to save her brother, so she’s got a taste for ’em.

it’s not matea i worry about though, it’s merrick.  since being rescued, he has learned a lot about navigating the world from his big sister, and although the drive is already in him, hunting and going after ‘game’ is something that has been accentuated by hanging with his sister.  merrick seems to think he can take on coyotes too … and since he doesn’t yet have the level of training that matea does, i have to be extra vigilant.

of course, all that time in the freezing water and cold wind, wears a little goober out …

even matea, at the end of our one long day of shooting, was pretty much done …

sometimes the boy can sit peacefully …

… for a few moments at least …

merrick’s first experience with waves … i’ve got some other shots of him in the waves that i’ll share later.

and what can i say, i love beach grasses …

enjoy your weekend, everyone … even if it might be a little wet.
