Took this in Newport RI this morning. And while I admire Carole's spunk in getting us to do something a little different, it was no pleasure trip. And not likely to happen again anytime soon. Has been great fun seeing everyone else's, though. And for that it has been worth it!

I guess that's why your not smiling. Is this 1st beach with that lovely red tide? Got a very nice shot here tho. stuey · 2012-07-22: 07:52

What ever was in your mind, you stop and made time to take the picture for this project. Good for you. Your face says it is not a perfect day, but still it is nice to see you. Maybe something to remember, there are always people who are happy to see you, no matter if you happy or sad. Hope you can turn this day in a good day. Ryana · 2012-07-22: 07:55
