Water Ballet

Tandem Surfing at the 2012 E.C.S.C.

Tandem Surfing

Two surfers perform a beautiful combination of ballet and gymnastics during the 50th anniversary of the East Coast Surfing Championships tandem surfing competition. For this particular ride, the surfer road the wave all the way to shore and walked off the board still carrying his partner. It was a site to behold and one that helped the tandem partners secure a place on the platform and in the hearts of the crowd.

So glad I was able to actually capture this image without another photographer, child or surfer walking in front of me just as I was ready to take the picture!

Angels over the ocean

Angels over the ocean

Blue Angels fly in formation as a group of seaside bathers, swimmers and surfers gaze up in wonderment at the pilot's aeronautical maneuvers .  I captured this moment in time from a friends dune deck on a gorgeous day in June when the Blue Angels, the United States Navy's flight demonstration and formal flying aerobatic team, were in town for a Patriotic Festival. 

Part of my Coastal Color Collection.

Enjoy Summer!

Morning Surf

Katia is letting herself be known to the surfers here on the coast of Virginia!

And perhaps a few business men!

Including my husband!

It's not too often we see surf as good as this ~ so all should be allowed to enjoy this gift from Katia!  Life is short...enjoy!!

Two Surfers - Painting In Process

You can tell when the ocean water starts to warm up,

all of the beach boys heed the call of the waves.

Free from wetsuits,

And cold winter wind.

The boys of summer,

 are surfing again.

Two Surfer Girls - Work In Process

 The beginning of a painting

is a mix of composition, color, and line.

As the painting continues, my focus is on color

which I play with until

the painting is finished.
