Robin and her parents are on vacation for a few days somewhere along the New Jersey shore. Emma took yet another amazing picture of her daughter charging the beach with a stick.

Emma said Robin had found a pointy stick which she said was an “ancient sword” and she decided she would try to fight the ocean. I don’t think she’s going to be easily discouraged in life.

I haven’t heard the results of the battle. I wouldn’t be stunned if Robin won. Watch out, ocean.

Emma is one of the most creative people I have known in my adult life, she is gifted at many things but has a special gift for writing and an amazing eye for the backlighting and composition of photographs,

She’s really got the touch, I hope she will one day agree to let me go out and take photos with her. So far, she hasn’t.

I’m very excited to be seeing Robin in a few weeks. I’ve missed her quite a bit. I’m grateful to Emma for keeping Robin alive for me.

Every time she sends me a brilliant photo, I love Robin even more. Her mother too. Emma has mastered the real challenge of photography – to capture souls, not just take pictures.
