Fall sandpiper, big wind (pic included)

[Steve Foss]

I wasn't out to shoot sandpipers. I was in Duluth along the south shore of Superior Saturday shooting my cousin's senior portraits. Wind was harsh, like 30mph sustained. Yikes! And this was a total grab shot while I was waiting for my cousin to get in position further down the shore.

Even he looks like he would like to be out of the wind! The waves in the background look rough! Nice shot.

Very nice...you can almost feel the texture of the sand.
