Virginia Is For Families

The Neptune Festival is this weekend and so we are enjoying the sand sculptures. It really amazes me how the manage to keep the sand from blowing away on these things before everyone has had a chance to look at them. The weather is fine this year. Sometimes it gets so cold you have to bundle up like it was the middle of winter. But this morning I was able to watch the surfers try and negotiate some wild surf. I have posted some surfers doing their thing here in the past. But today was different. The surf was wild and there were few guys out there. And most of the time when they were out there it was just to sit on their surf boards and watch.

Update//I was going to fix this photo up a little bit.  It’s a year later and we have been back to another Neptune festival.  When i saw that folks were dialing in this 2007 photo I was embarrassed.  I wanted to fix it.  And then I just decided to leave it.  Because this is where I was a year ago.  And I can safely say I have made progress since this photo was taken.  If you like photography and work diligently on you skills you will progress too.  There is something to be said for that and leaving old photos alone.
