Of course the best photo is the one never taken

But picture this:

Sunday, August 09, 2009 - Long Island

Lido Beach shore, gray skies, empty beach except for the four kids

Gathered near the shore with soft crashing waves
Digging a whole where the water replenishes itself
Four little bodies gathered around this little pond
Exploring, digging, showing their discoveries: shells, crabs, pebbles
Getting stung by some jelly fish in the ocean water
Running, chasing each other, back and forth:
I scare you with this, yeah, well I'll scare you with this
Running in and out of the water
Jumping over the waves
Daring each other into silly things
Laughing, giggling, living.
