Woman Walking in the Water


Tuesday. Dunkin. Beach.  We had such a nice time with our coffee and donuts at the beach today.  After we had been here for a while, a woman walking along the beach in the water was passing us. We both said "good morning" and started chatting about how beautiful the day was and how nice the beach is and why it is so nice to be outdoors.  She was standing in the water the whole time we were talking.  And suddenly I realized that I was looking at an interesting portrait, right in front of my eyes.  But I was reluctant to ask to take her portrait, and then she walked on.  She walked up the beach and I was kicking myself for not asking.  Then she turned around and walked back in the water the same way.  This time I had my small camera ready.  So this time I asked if I could photograph her and she said "sure."  What struck me about this scene was the blue sky, the blue water, the woman was wearing blue, and she had a nice tan.  There is a European photographer who does large format portraits, and his work looks a bit like this.

How nice that the women in blue was up for having her picture taken on the beach. Did you send her a copy of the photo?

Does not look like a typical October day, but I am enjoying this weather as you are with your Dunkin' days and she is walking in the water.

I offered to send her a copy but she said that I needn't bother. I appreciated so much that she let me do this photograph.

If I didn’t know that it’s October I would guess it’s summertime. Glad you had a nice Dunkin’ morning.
