Fun at the Beach

We returned yesterday from a beach vacation. How I love the beach! Our dogs enjoyed it too, although how they would love to run free there! With Afghan Hounds you might never see them again once they take off. I brought even more books than the stack in the photo but didn't even get through half of one. With family there we played on the beach, looked in shops, ate, shopped, ate, went for long walks on the beach, ate .... and played alot in between just relaxing. I have a series of tea still lifes I'm working on as prints and notecards, I'm thinking I'll use this image.
