During a long, two-week vacation at the beach, I had plenty of time to think and plan for the next fine art photography post. And with days spent under our large, red umbrella people-watching like…. wincing at the beach-goers in teeny, tiny bathing suits who probably shouldn’t be in teeny, tiny bathing suits; laughing at the 60-year-old intoxicated man try to dance and flirt with the much younger woman one towel over; and giving my best angry glare to the teenager who decided to shake out his towel with the wind in my direction… I knew the post had to be beach-related. Then add in my two boys who finally agreed to assist if I paid them each $5, and the shark theme was born.
While we there, we watched on the news about Great White Sharks tagged by scientists to track their movement. And yes, you know the sharks are out in the ocean as you swim by the shore, but to actually see it on the news makes it feel a little more real. And then when you go to the website that shows just where all the sharks are at that moment, wow! (Click here on the Ocearch.org website to see where the sharks, with adorable names like Katharine, Betsy, and Mary Lee, are currently swimming.)
So take all that information, throw in two wild boys and a “too close to shore” shark, and this is what you get. Happy swimming!
