A little tug in my hamstring discouraged me from squeezing in a hike after my mommy shuttling duties were complete. With my trip a little more than a week away, I can’t afford to mess with injuries. In lieu of hiking, theMAN and me take drive over the hill for a seaside stroll (aka “photo walk”) and a little bonding time at Margaritaville.

We took our time walking along the ocean, stopping to take in the view and/or snap a photo of it. This is just one of the many photos I took along the way. I had fun composing the shot to include the wildflowers in the foreground. Since we are often photographing the same things, I have been looking for ways to make my photos a little different from the ones theMAN takes. It’s a fun exercise and helps to challenge me in my development as a photographer. Plus it’s cool to have photos that stand out and make this seaside stroll different from the last one.
