I had a great day at the beach with my family this last week. The weather was really warm and sunny (though at Cannon Beach the wind did pick up a bit). We headed to Indian Head beach at Ecola State Park later that day, and the result was spectacular – no wind, fewer crowds (most had left), and an amazing sunset.

We made a fire, roasted smores, and the kids played their hearts out. My girls in particular love the water, and seem immune to the cold Pacific waters – until they’re not, when a wall is hit and suddenly they realize, “hey, I’m freezing! Ahh!!”.

I tried to shoot some stuff when the light was golden, but I just couldn’t focus with the kids running around. Some times you have to either be in the moment, or be behind the lens. I chose to be in the moment and set the cam down for a bit.
