    Joe - Something tells me you were taking photos for reasons other than athletic interest - am I right? Glad you got to enjoy the surf, sand, and "views".

    That must have been a lot of fun out there! Taking the pictures was not a bad job either I suppose ;-)

    It looks like you may have been having as much fun photographing the beach games as the participants themselves. Looking forward to seeing more pictures from your beach vacation.

    Thanks for the laugh with that last photo!

    I've seen kids playing that game before, but this is the first time I've seen adults playing it! I think I'd pass....but it looks like all are having fun.

    I like the proverb. Next time, I want to see how deep the water is, I must remember to use one leg.

    It is freezing here. I like to be where you are.
