The sun finally started showing up in my living room recently. I was most grateful…and out came the camera. As well as, of course, the deck chairs. More specifically a pair of Adirondack chairs…souvenirs from a long ago trip to Coronado, California. They remind me of the beach. Somewhere there is a mini jelly jar full of sand that also made the trip back home.

These days, this pair of chairs has to settle for a view out the window in snow covered New Hampshire. As do I.

It never fails to capture my attention and make me smile.

This past Sunday – sunny but cold – seemed a perfect opportunity for a walk on the beach. The bright afternoon sun enhanced the perspective potential for this challenge…and I am always chasing the light.

It didn’t disappoint.

Along the walkway bordering the beach is a shelter that covers several lines of benches. The sun lit it up with lines as well.

Catching my eye from one side…
