And as an additional surprise, she invited us to show up without our son knowing we were coming until we knocked on the door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I loved the sound of the ocean and our walks on the beach. But mostly I loved being with family. This is one our grandson Terran exploring the beach. It is my favorite image for March 16.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blog.jimdoty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/150316-Seagull-SC-5D3-8435b-w8.jpg\" alt=\"Seagull, North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

March 16, 2015.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>One of my missions was to get a nice seagull image. So most days when we were on the beach I had a long lens (70-300mm) on my camera. My moment came when a gull flew between me and the dark, shaded side of a motel. The dark background really made the seagull pop. This is my third favorite image for this date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blog.jimdoty.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/060316-Jan-5D-2289-bw-w7.jpg\" alt=\"Jan, receptionist, medical office.

I asked this receptionist if I could take her picture and she said yes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I wanted to hide the medical office background so I vignetted the photo. I also decided to go with a black and white version.
