still water

My friends and I went down to the water to see if the sunset was going to be worth photographing. (It was, as you may have already seen in a previous post.) While we waited for the sky to go out in a glorious flame of orange, we wandered around taking photos. You know, the way you do.

shower/stall

It was off season, so the door to the marina’s outdoor shower was nailed shut. For photographic purposes, all that meant was that I just stuck my camera over the top and made a few pictures. You know, the way I do.

IMPORTANT NOTE: I only do stuff like this if I am at least 100% certain that shower (or whatever I’m photographing) is unoccupied. It would be too weird otherwise. And also, probably illegal.

fascinators

As soon as I noticed that these statues had spiders on their head, it made me think of those posh British-y hats called “fascinators.”

According to my research, which took between one and two minutes, the proper placement of a fascinator is on the right side. So while I can give these statues partial credit for their effort at being fancy, I believe they ought to have been more conscientious about the placement.

Also, it’s probably just me, but when I picture St. Brendan, I tend to see him in golf attire.

foot traffic

There are a lot of things that make me laugh. A lot. You’d probably be surprised at the range of things that I find hilarious.

This, for example, is extremely funny to me. (And, yes: I do crack my own self up.)

one of each

One person, one chair, one beach bag, one (blurry) seagull.

And a touch of pink in the sky.
