My husband retired recently, and we find ourselves walking on the beach quite regularly these days. I always take my camera because you never know when that perfect scene will be spread out at your feet. On those days I go without it, I always see multiple "perfect scenes".

I have to remind myself, that seeing the perfect scene, and getting an image of it are two different things. Usually, when I look in my viewfinder, the sun is in my eyes, or some such distraction, and I just click away in frustration, unable to see what I am pointing at.
I enjoy the trip again when I return home and download the images. Usually I find at least a few that have possibilities.
I am sure by now all you plein air painters are horrified, but I have always been a studio painter and always will be. I did TRY to do plein air, but find it is a whole different ballgame. I have great respect for anyone who can climb a mountain with a 36x48 canvas strapped on his back.......just cannot see me doing it!
Enjoy the day.........
