Dear  Gini,     Thank you for  photo  and  it's  locale  info       as    I   bicycled ,all alone,  to  city of Santa Rosa Beach ,   from  Destin, Florida  to   there   and  back,  several times  ......great good will  store there , off main hwy......  truth is,  I  purchased  a  used  bicycle  in Destin's  Goodwill  store (big,comfy seat  and wide tires...it was great....) just   to   get  "out  and about"   .....that was   in January (cold,relatively speaking)   hours   a few days  right after  my  husband  stunned me  with , "  We are getting  a divorce after this vacation.....let's just be friends......"      !!!    He   and his  comrades  went out, driving, site seeing,dining   etc    and   I   enjoyed  Santa  Rosa   and   Fort Walton    etc     with my bicycle  and occasional shuttle  van  here and there.     I did indeed  see  "oil"  on  the  gulf's  sands.   so tragic....forever.

Love this shot, I especially like the line between sand and water even with the seat of the chairs. I imagine the two who would have sat in these two chairs just had to leave them to enjoy the surf .. or at least that is me projecting myself into your photo here .. it would be hard for me to just sit in a chair I am the type that has to get in the water.

Beautiful.  I love the white against white in this one and I agree with you that there is an intimacy to the placement of the chairs.  Boy do I wish that I was there now!

Thank you all.

Santa Rosa Beach in the Panhandle of Florida...on the Gulf.  The water is like a swimming pool and the sand is so white...something to do with quartz washing down from the Appalachian mountains eons ago.   The chairs were sitting off to the side as event planners were setting up for a wedding...they begged to be photographed.  I loved the intimate way they were slightly turned towards each other.

Yay for photos demandng to be taken!  I really like this shot Gini!  Where are you here?  Really nice white sand and  a Carribean blue to the water.  Hmmm.....  Wish I were there too!

Thank you...I'm obviously drawn to blues and whites so am a sucker for a beach wedding and there were several to enjoy last week.  I walked past these two chairs en route to my patch of sand and something made me come back and snap a pic from behind.  It felt happy to me, too.
