Photography: Dillon Beach

“You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is like an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean does not become dirty.” —Mahatma Gandhi

Happy Wednesday! The last few months have felt like a blur, but maybe I’m coming out of this new phase of healing. I’ve had several wonderful conversations with old friends and made plans to meet two more later this week. I’m ready to trust and rebuild connections after feeling like my world was simply too tilted to stand straight. It’s a nice feeling.

These photos are from my trip last week to Dillon Beach. I’ve been here hundreds of times, but there’s always something different to see and photograph. Perhaps there’s a life lesson in there somewhere. Please let me know if you have a favorite photo and have a fantastic week.

If you are interested in seeing how my photography has grown, here are some photos I took at Dillion Beach last year.

    • I did. When my kids were little the beach was always so much work. I’d bring a book, but could never really read much. Now, they go off and do their own thing and I do mine. I spent hours with my camera just exploring. It was great fun!

  9. No fair. All subjective is where I settle in here. Number nine. Full enlargement is also why, these off-shore teeth – I like when the earth talks back to me – and teeth are just another way to say, love. I do.

    • I’d love to know more about how that photo made you see your dad in a new light. That statue is one of my favorites and I’ve taken hundreds of photos of it over the years. Blessings to you, too!

      • It’s really quite simple, Bridgette; when I saw that statue, it was like I was looking at my father. His face is identical! However, in all my father’s life, I never saw him even remotely resemble a pirate! Dad was always well-groomed; his hair was neatly trimmed and, while he had a mustache, he never sported a beard. I’m sure my childhood days would have been much more exciting if my Dad were a pirate (or at least dressed like one)!

  18. This post is so inspiring. Mahatma Gandhi’s quote is a reminder that even when life is hard, we can still have some faith in humanity. Your photos from Dillion Beach are beautiful, and I love the idea of finding a life lesson in them. Your journey of healing and building connections is admirable and I wish you all the best. Thank you for the reminder to find the beauty in our lives, even when it seems hard to do so. Thank you to the author for such an uplifting post!
