Terrific work with the natural light. That part would have been tricky, especially with the sun beating down on the waves. Beautiful shot though, lovely framing of the object!

Super shot. I can almost feel the sea breeze. Can I ask a stupid question? How do you get to link straight through to your Redbubble site? I am being thick but can’t seem to work out how to do it.

  Thanks, Rachael. When I post a photo, there is a URL link. I change the default link to the Redbubble site. If you have additional questions, let me know and I can go into further detail.

Brian, if awards were real pieces of paper you’d need another room, I bet. Guess what! I LOVE your posts, so I am nominating you the “very inspiring blogging award” I’m sure you have 20, but none are as wonderful as this one because its from ME! Take it or leave it. Rules, 7 things about you & nominate 15 other people. i’ve not seen many posts lately, get busy! 🙂 Amy

  Amy, thank you for the kind words and nomination. In general, I have not followed the response rules for these awards, but since you are so pushy, I just might. 🙂
