Snapshots…

As I was walking on the boardwalk in Long Beach, I looked around and saw so many possible pictures to snap and yet, I didn’t have my camera.  If I did, this is what I would have taken…

The first snapshot would be the fierce water making big waves and hitting the white sand beach.  I would take the shot as it curled around and hit the ground.  Snap.

I kept walking and started to jog.

The next shot would be two muscle men training about six or seven women on the boardwalk.  Each woman was doing something different.  While one woman was doing ab work, another woman was climbing up and down from the bench lifting weights above her head.  And yet another woman was jumping rope while someone else was working her biceps.  Snap.

I continued to jog.  I saw a surf camp on the beach with dozens of children eager to learn how to surf.  No one was in the water yet but they all had their wet suits on and were ready to go. Here’s another good photo opportunity. Snap.

I started to sprint.

I saw four or five construction workers fixing the boardwalk.  They were replacing some of the warn wood with new.  They had a section of the boardwalk closed off.  Wearing their uniforms and hammering away, I thought another good photo. Snap.

I ran further.

A carnival was set up on the right side of the boardwalk on an empty block.  There were rides and things and I just wondered when it would begin. Snap.

I started to walk.  (I was getting tired of running.)

I came to the end of the boardwalk on New York Avenue.  There were a few people sitting outside of Vito’s eating pizza.  There was a guy doing dips on the Boardwalk.  And there were little children running by as their parents ran after them.  Snap. Snap. Snap.
