I started to work on it many times but I could never get very far. Maybe I needed to be in the season to edit it. Well, that time of the year has finally come, and I can share a different look at the beach in beautiful Greece. Also a bit of my thought process on how I put these photo essays together.

We were walking along the coast. And then we encountered this. It was a chair carved out of a tree stump.
In fact, there were two of them. We didn’t try to sit because it was windy and the seats were wet.
I can literally spend an hour agonizing over these decisions. For just one shot!
In fact, I have been known to go overboard on occasion. In cases like this one, it becomes more of a research project. But so worth it.
The aloe vera plant waves good night to the sailboats and maybe to the sun!
I hope you enjoyed this different look at the beach in beautiful Greece. And more importantly you were able to see my thought process. Sometimes what looks to be so effortless is actually a lot harder than you would imagine.
Now tell me, was there a method to my madness? Did I curate the photos chronologically or thematically?

You really are Greece! And it is so easy to photograph you for that reason!

Ahhhhhh! I agonize over photos, too, but ultimately light each one a certain way and still have the original to play with later. :) Love your beach, Mary!!! Wish I could just transport there... My favorite thing is to be along and just absorb a beach and everything around and in it. I'll stay for an hour or a whole day and by the day's end, I'm finally stress-free... Thank you for this. <3 :) Missing California and the quick hour to Oceaside/Carlsbad beaches... Hugs, Barb <3

It can be so agonizing Barbara. I have the hardest time when it comes to cropping. I'm gotten better at it now since I am able to frame them when shooting so I don't take an hour to decide how to crop. It will take much less than an hour to de-stress at these beaches Barbara, just listening to the waves is enough.

I loved seeing your photos from Greece. We just returned from a trip to Athens but we were on a tour and really didn't have much down time to ourselves. I wish we had more time to explore.

Oh I'm sure you must have enjoyed yourselves. Even the tours are fun because you get to see so much.
