A Sign of the Times

Yesterday I grabbed my mask and headed out to capture some sunset beach scenes. I was particularly moved by this one of children playing carefree at the water's edge. This is a scene pretty much synonymous with summer, unless of course you count the fact that the kids are wearing masks. But this isn't a ordinary summer is it. Wear a mask .... Slow the spread .... Save lives.

I appreciate the responsible parents who requested it and the children's follow through.

Beautiful, the composition and lighting are splendid. Sign of the times alright. We will all have to get used to never seeing a strangers smile again, or probably even a close relatives.

A lovely scene that could be pretty normal if it were not for their face masks, Nick! V

A beautiful evening to be playing to be playing at the water’s edge but so unusual to see masks on kids. Seems like they have smart parents!

Terrific composition and image, the light is so beautiful. Pleased to see these children enjoying themselves and mindful of the necessity of masks.

a charming image....their youthful energy outweighs the oddity of masks...good to see lasting values amid turbulent times..

A scene of both the old and the new normal, well captured. I simply don't get what so hard about wearing a mask in public...
