    There is something so poignant and symbolic of sandcastles which takes us to a carefree Summer long lost.

    Wonderful work!

    imaginary sandcastles
    taking a turn with the tide

    photos in sepia?
    my parents regain?

    Perfect . . . it spoke to me of growing older and reflecting on my past; this is as universal a feeling as there exists . . . well-done. <3
