This is an amazing picture! But also, the girl on the right has some beautiful red hair! Just though I would let you know
Thanks for posting!
~My Blog
Thank you !! She really does have gorgeous hair…but then I love redheads !!!
Haha yeah
is she you daughter? And is that natural? 
if so that’s fantastic!
No not my daughter, and considering her age I would assume it is natural…
Somehow it’s kids that make summer seem like our memories of summer! That’s a gorgeous shot – so simple, almost monotone except for the children. Great choice:)
Thank you…they were so engrossing to watch.
Because they were totally caught up in the moment themselves!
Beautiful shot, Jo
Thanks BB…I have been waiting to use it for a while. It is one of my favourites.
They are very cute and adorable.
They are aren’t they !
You got tagged
Hi Rois…will probably get to it later in the week.
Thanks for thinking of me !!!
Great summer beach shot!
Thanks…I loved these girls !! Glad to hear you liked it.
Lovely photo. I like the sand on their hands and feet
Thanks !!! I like that you noticed those things.
Sorry that i can’t leave a comment on your blog…it has been that way for a while now with Blogger.
Grrrrrrrrrrr
Perfect summer photo – love the colors!
Thank you Colleen. After having seen some of your work that is a wonderful compliment !!!
Love the red hair! Cute photo.
Thanks Mary Lou !! I am so happy you think so. Her hair is pretty amazing.
Wonderful… Brings back childhood memories… Oddly, as an adult, I stopped enjoying the beach because of all that sand… how silly of me.
Very silly. My ex was like that. Hated sand. Hmmmmm…maybe that was what went wrong. LOL
excellent choice. wow.
Thanks you !!!
I love this image (have been waiting for a chance to use it) so, I love hearing when others feel the same.
You made my Sunday !!!
Makes me want to go get a little sand in my drawers, myself. It’s been a couple of years since I went to the beach … and your beaches are beautiful! Those kids look like they are enjoying their time in the sand.
They sure seemed to be happy that day !
i can’t even put into words how lovely that photo is. so evocative of summer and play and innocence – fabulous!
thanks too for passing by my blog and for leaving such kind words.
Thank you Liv !!! Love that you loved it so much.
This picture evokes so many summer memories – of being at the beach when I was a child, and other times of being with my children at the beach. It’s a beautiful photo, Jo, and perfect for the theme.
Thanks Ruth !! These girls held my attention while I was there…
Great shot Jo. I like this beach shot a lot. Perfect picture to go with the theme.
Thanks Arindam !!!
Great photo…I spent many happy days on the beach when I was that age. Oh the memories.
Say beach…or show pics of sand and kids and I think we all go back to earlier times…I sure do !
A beautiful picture of the children enjoying a day at the beach.
Thanks Colline…they were so joyful and happy it was a pleasure to watch them.
Summer and kids, that is just one! Beautiful picture, thanks for sharing it with us
Thanks !!! It was a pleasure to share.
summer fun
Missing it a lot now the days are darker and colder Joshi !
Kids being kids with no tv or techie toys, just as it should be!
Sure is Gilly. Doesn’t happen often enough anymore i fear.

This kind of setting looks oh-so-familiar. And it might be one of your old posts as well. Not so sure. Great image, either way.
Glad you liked it Rommel. I haven’t used it before but did use one with the girl and her Dad (at least I think he was) a while ago.
Excellent summer post Jo thumbs up
Thanks Jake !!!
What a sweet end of the season picture!
Thanks NPB !!!! I thought that too !

Really neat picture, Jo. Makes me want to get to the beach.
It’s hard to imagine that your summer is ending/over and ours is just barely getting started!
As I got up this morning to a white frosty lawn and my fingers wrapped around the cup holding my morning tea for warmth while I waited for the fire to take off again I knew that our winter has taken hold. Still – the sky is clear and blue…so not all bad I would say !!!
Awesome!!!
Thanks Jennifer. That shot of those girls is one of my favourites.
Great shot Jo. That image really says ‘summer’ to me. Have I ever told you you’re a brilliant photographer?
Thanks Cap’n !!! I think you have been kind enough to mention it…but hmmmmm…I think I am happy to have you say it again.
summer girls!
Summer fun at the beach! Lovely capture!
Thanks…it was one of the last days. With the fire going here I miss those days already.
You always add such excellence to your Space Jo
Excellent study my great friend and I hope
and with this photograph being one of your finest, then
I can honestly say that you are a genius with your own
camera
that you are planning a fangtastic weekend with back
to back thrilling and exciting moments
Yes and I hope that everything is on the menu
hey cheeky…
