Some people were leaving back to their cars just as we were arriving. We had enough time to have the beach nearly to ourselves for an hour before the area was cleared, then set off running for shelter as we waited for the thunderstorm to pass. The lake was beautiful, cool and refreshing. Sofia and I swam together as Erick quietly observed from a distance, we wandered far enough into the water to float and watched as airplanes passed overhead. I hope someday we build our home near the water, I don't think my heart could take it if I were very far away. This week leaves me limited time for personal photos as I am working very hard on finishing up a few client shoots and preparing for another wedding over the weekend. I'll be happy when the long nights are over and my files are happily packaged and on their way. Soon. (photos of me by him ).
