Swimming in the warm Atlantic Ocean with Finn
Sunrise and 70°
Clear, breezy, cloudless weather
Seashells on the beach
Warm, heated pool water
Finn’s first boat ride
Great company and great friends
Pina Coladas, Dark & Stormys, and rum in general
Delicious home-cooked meals each night (usually starring fresh local seafood)
Cold, cold beer
Barbecue at twilight
Finn’s second birthday
Fire, S’mores, and UFOs on the beach
The full moon, stars, and Jupiter in view
Lunch on Okracoke on the water
Fresh guacamole and MeMaw’s dip
Watching Finn dance to Bob Marley

This forum post about a 102 year old lens on a modern Canon 5D is cool for several reasons. The first is that the idea and execution are amazing, as are the resulting photos. The second is in the 4th picture down… notice a familiar sign?

This is beautiful, and makes me wish we had a house big enough to replicate it: an enormous library desk made of books.
