A Pier, A Sunset and Some Clouds

What’s up with that title? Anyway, last weekend we took a drive to St Andrews state park. We had to go that way to pick up #3 son who was visiting a friend. It was late in the day so we didn’t have a lot of time for pictures. I managed to take a few, okay maybe lots.  I may take a ton but I’m am only left with a handful that I’m happy with. This pier shot was one of them.

The pier had lots of great angles to shoot from.

The shadows from the supports were really cool against the sand. It was a beautiful park.

I tried to wait to get some crashing waves. I managed to get a few little ones.

sunset 
This past weekend was sort of laid back. I spent some time in this position. Looking at all the clouds floating by. Waiting for an interesting group to come into view.
 hammock

It was sort of amazing how fast they’d change. I wouldn’t notice it until I would take a few shot in succession then play them back. You could see the movement. Like the flip books my kids would make.

clouds

I sort of see a face in this group. Do you see it? I only had one beer, promise.
What do you see? Have a drink then get back to me. Maybe you'll see something then. ;)

    You are so lucky. Shorts aren't in my wardrobe for at least two more months!

    I don't see a face. I see a little heart. But no face. :)

    Anita these are gorgeous! I love them all. I have always been fascinated with photos of pier supports like you have captured and that sunset....ooohhhh!!!!
    I love the photo of you relaxing, that is just perfect and I think I see one of those creepy tree faces that you can put on your trees or a dog. :)

    Oh how fun. I enjoyed the pier in Venice, Fl when we were there. I also took a similar sky shot. I need to see if I see anything in the clouds. Maybe if I had a beer ..... :) I do see the face in yoru clouds.

    Looks like a lovely weekend - and I see the face, in profile right? With a cloud for an eye? Or maybe I need to have a glass of wine. You shared so many great "waiting" shots - the sun, the waves, the clouds. Thanks so much for linking in to Exploring with a Camera!

    These shots are awesome. The coastal are is a fascinating canvas and is constantly changing. I love the ones of the pier structures and shadows.
    Maybe I need that beer. The only face I saw was sort of ghoulish. Thanks for the beautiful pics. Hugs, Ginger

    Thanks for stopping by and commenting on my blog. That is an enamel drink dispencer that I am using for my laundry detergent dispencer. My hubby thinks I am crazy, but I love that it is functional AND pretty!

    So jealous about your post! My favorite place to be, besides home, is on the beach.

    Have a great today!

    Simply Stunning!

    I love the different angles, and that sand is sooo white! I feel a trip back to the beach coming on - for photographic purposes only of course! ;)

    No shorts here, either. What a coincidence ... I have a beer in my post today, too! I love your second photo, with all the angles of the pier supports. The lighting and contrasts are PERFECT!!

    These are my kind of photos. They are transporting! Great color, contrast, and composition. I like your approach to shooting lots and lots and then editing down to only the primo ones. Keep shooting! And sharing.
