15 Under 15 Feature 43

Another week, another 15 under 15! Last weekend I went to the beach to photograph a young friend of mine in a mermaid tail! We had perfect weather and it was so much fun photographing her on the rocks. It's a beach I've photographed on before with Ricky Lindsay, so I had texted him to see which part of the beach we usually shot on (it's big with lots of directions), so I had my phone in my pocket waiting to get a text back from him, and of course then I inadvertently walked into the water up to my hips with it in my pocket to get the right angle for a shot. So...I fried my iPhone 6, thankfully I still had a 5 I could back it up to, but it was kind of a disappointing event nonetheless.  But! Nature has got me happy this week, I finally started getting ripe grapes on my arbor (spoiler: they are filled with seeds and not tasty) and one of my sunflowers finally bloomed! I'm hoping when I get home from work today that another one will be open


Thank you again to LualaDy for suggesting a few new traditional artists to me for this week's feature!
