Bathers: Black Beauty, Photographic, Joyce Dade (c) 2011

Shadow here obscures identity but not beauty.  Three gals, perhaps sisters, perhaps friends - but holding hands in the surf at Coney Island.  A bird's eye view perhaps but a vision of beauty nevertheless.

To be on the beach with camera in hand on this particular day was wonderful.  The clouds were enormous.  When I see clouds of this magnitude and more, I know it's time to head down to the beach.  No, not with surfboard in hand but, yes, with my camera - I know it will look like paradise and clouds like these do not disappoint.

The lifeguards gave me a difficult time this year and; I just don't understand why. 
How could I explain to those guards who gave me such a hard time that "...a close up (of you) just wouldn't do?" 

Dear Mr. and or Ms. Lifeguard, please Google me at your own risk.  :)
