Ellipsis Monday Photo Shoot #141:Sand Sculptures And Mermaids

"Many do with opportunities as children do at the seashore; they fill their little hands with sand, and then let the grains fall through, one by one, till all are gone,"

-Thomas Jones









EMPS #141: SAND SCULPTURES OR MERMAIDS. NOW CLOSED!
Would any visit to the beach be complete without building a SAND SCULPTURE? :) This week, I would like to see not just the photographer in you, but the sculpture as well! Show me your best SAND SCULPTURE! Now, if you don't happen to live near the beach, or anything sandy at all, then you might choose the alternate choice of MERMAIDS. Feel free to go with your imagination, and think outside the box... or SAND SCULPTURE as the case may be!

Extra Credit: Sand under your feet or soft grass under your feet... which do you prefer? Tell us all about it!

Tucson in Black and White. Photographing it in B/W gives it a cool quiet feel. Quite different. :)
