black and white Wednesday ~ a week of sand and sea

(These were taken at our resort south of Playa del Carmen, on the Caribbean side(Eastern) of the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico.

A little bit of paradise in my opinion.)

"For whatever we lose

 (like a you or a me)

it's always ourselves we find in the sea."

~ e.e. cummings

"Today is a smooth white seashell,
 hold it close and listen
 to the beauty of the hours." ~ unknown 

"Enjoy the little things,

for one day you may look back and realize

they were the big things." ~ Robert Brault

I love the above quote.

 Having just spent a week with some of my most favorite people in the world

 I can relate to enjoying or cherishing the little things.
Like listening to the waves, finding shells, writing in sand,
and holding hands.

Every evening before sundown we went to the beach and walked.
I believe as photographers(and mothers or fathers), a big part of what we do is observe and watch.
 I'll speak for myself and say I thoroughly enjoy that part.
Simply watching my children play, explore and learn.
And hearing them laugh.

Some evenings I brought my camera, sometimes not.

On the evening these pictures were taken, the sky was spectacular

 and the sun reflected brightly off the 

clouds.
I was fortunate to capture the 2 littlest loves of my life, walking near the water
with that glorious sky above.

I feel like the black and white version captured the beauty of that sun lit sky well too.

Check out Lisa's, Black and White Wednesday for many more

pictures and her post for today.

And Happy Wednesday!
