This week’s challenge from Patti asks us to find images of objects that begins with the letter S. I chose a few objects found in or around sand or things that are made of sand.
Seashells and seals on the sandy seashore




Sand Dunes


Many thanks to Patti for this week’s Lens Artists photo challenge #136: Things that begin with the letter S.
That’s a wonderful collection for S! I loved seeing the seal images. That one in Hawaii was sacked out! ππ₯°

Thank you! There are no seals where we live so seeing them in the wild is a special treat.

Excellent Beth! I never thought of the sand dunes – your image of them is beautiful. No surprise that you featured seashells but where did you see those adorable seals?!

Tina, I wanted to include images of things I donβt usually feature. The seal on the beach was on Kauai and the others on an Oregon beach.

It was a surprise to come across the seals when walking on the beach. That’s not something that would happen on the beaches here.

Those seals look like they rolled over to get their stomachs scratched. π

Somewhere in my archives, I’ve got a similar photo of a monk seal on the sand at Kauai. The image I have was captured at Poipu Beach. Do you recall what beach you were at?

John, we were on the north shore. We drove west to the end of the road at Ha’ena State Park and walked out to Ka’a Beach. We walked down the beach past one of the points and came across the seal. I don’t know if that beach had a name. The seal didn’t pay any attention to me. Seeing the seal like that was one of the highlights of our stay on Kauai.

Thanks John! Yes, those Great Sand Dunes are amazing. We attempted to climb them but only could go a short way up.

Likewise. The top looks so close, but the more you climb the further away it gets, and climbing a dune is NOT easy.
