Default Beginnings of a sandcastle

Took this image this past week at the beach. My biggest problem was that my 2 boys are grown so I wanted to photograph some children - but did not want to alarm parents. It was difficult getting shots without showing faces - but it was a good challenge! Next time - I think I will just approach the parents - give them my card, explain what I would like to do and offer them a copy of the image if they let me photograph their child.

Have a look at the FAQs for the visual guide on how to post from Flickr

In the mean time I've added in the photo that I think you were intending to post.

A great shot of a day at the beach. I like the reflection of the two children digging.
