The theme for April 24, 2024 is #Long
I participate in a photography challenge on Spoutible, a social media site, A hashtagged theme is posted each day from the account of Daily Picture Theme which describes itself as “The Big Photo Album of Our Community.” The theme for today is #Long and it is not an easy assignment. I wasn’t sure whether to use “long” as a verb, adjective or name. I settled on a familiar name “Long Beach” but not the one in California. Long Beach on Vancouver Island is located on the Pacific Rim Highway on the way to Tofino. My featured photo shows the short boardwalk path to Combers Beach which is at the end of Long Beach.
Most of these photos were taken in July 2017. The beach is popular with surfers, swimmers and kayakers but it was too cool for a dip. This is was a return trip for me because I had visited Tofino in the early 1980s. At that time I saw cars and campers on the beach. Seeing a speed limit sign was very depressing. Thankfully in 2017 it was in a more natural state.
On This Day – April 24th (2017)
Willard Brook State Forest
On this day in 2017 I decided to take a short drive to Willard Brook State Forest in Ashby,MA. I was hoping to find some early signs of Spring. I also wanted to take some long exposure photographs of the small streams that run by the trails.
