Since being "creative" is part of my philosophy of life and how to live it to it's fullest, I've decided to post this series of sand sculptures I've created over the years.
Generally, these have all been created at Cape May, New Jersey over the years. I started making these when my kids were little, and it just kind of became a tradition of sorts.
No particular reason to have them here, except to acknowledge that they aren't really that good, but I went ahead and made them anyway. I did it, to do it. And regardless of your skill, or talent or proficiency - you should do what you enjoy doing too.
Damn the torpedoes! Full speed ahead!
Hope you get a little enjoyment from these.
Hamming it up.
I like a shovel, spoon, fork and butter knife.
This one was pretty huge. Got some exercise that day.

No reason for this shot. Just liked it.
Tough theme for not binders. Lots of verticle.
lifting weights is over rated!
Sometimes you can't beat the classics!
This one was kind of easy, and I liked the final product.
Sometimes simple is best.
Because you want to be thinking about sharks when you are at the beach.
