Sand sculpture

Hi Everyone! I hope y'all are having a great week.
I wanted to share with you this really neat sand sculpture.

No, I didn't do it. My ability  does not extend beyond sad little sand castles
and mud pies!
It was created by a lone older gentleman on the beach.

I started to go over and ask if I could take his picture as he was finishing but
being the chicken that I am, I waited and took shots of his work after he left.


It had such detail. He even used small reeds for the windshield wipers!
I guess the thing that really bothers me is ... all that work and it is gone when the tide comes in!
Oh well, I guess that is really living for the pleasure of the moment.

I am working on several projects at home that I hope will last a little longer. I like to get lots
of mileage out of my work (smile). I will be posting them later this week.
I have been enjoying family times the last few days and have not been at the computer as much
I'm anxious to see what you all have been doing.
I have sung Nursery Rhymes and read One Fish, Two Fish 
to the g'babies so many times my voice sounds like
" Froggy" from The Little Rascals. Remember them?







I am linking to Outdoor Wednesday
Drop by for lots of fun photos.

  2. It takes a lot of talent to accomplish something like this. The tide won't wash this sculpture away because you captured it with your camera. La

  4. That sand sculpture is amazing piece of work. I do not blame you for getting these great shots of it. I would have gone right over while he was there. I never meet a stranger. It is a shame in away the tide will carry it away. Thanks for your visit.

  15. That is really cool!!
    Thanks for your visit! The paint color for the cabinets is Valspur Gravity. I just added a little black to it so it would be a little bit darker then the walls!
    Take care
