How long did it take you to get that shot? It looks like the tide came in by the time you snapped it.

Your patience certainly pays off in the quality of your photos!

It reminds me of the time I was taking pictures of starfish in a tidal pool on Pacific coast in Washington state. To get the shot, I had to get into a crevice about 3-4 feet deep. As I was taking the shot a huge wave came in and filled up the crevice. It wouldn't have been so bad except the temperature was around freezing, I was wearing a down parka, and I was soaked to the bone.

Too kind! :-)
Hmm, a soaked down parka is never a good thing to be stuck wearing eh? I hope the shot was worth it! :-)

It was rather unpleasant! And if I recall, the shot didn't even come out. It was a film camera and I don't know where my prints or negatives are stored anymore.

For me there is never a time for Bud. Never. I will drink water instead. If it's 110F in summer in Texas and one must drink factory style beer it oughta be Shiner Bock.

Props to Henry for the Shiner Bock reference! I'm not much of a beer drinker, but I do enjoy Shiner.

"Final Rest"!?!?! Huh? It's just something like "Every day's a holiday"

Sorry, it's been changed. I thought you'd said later it was meant to be like a toe tag in a morgue. The holiday you never come back from sort of thing? Maybe that was someone else's comment.
