Swimming in the Back Yard Ocean: Portrait Photography Challenge

I stumbled across this photography challenge the other day and thought I would participate as much as I can, because I love photos and am hoping that like my creative writing, this rekindles my love for actual creating things!

I have to say that most of my photos are probably going to be from our sailboat life-adventure, because I have so many amazing experiences and photos from that time to share!

Here are some "bonus" shots:

This was one of many times that @abyni put on a flowing dress and swam under water while I waited with our underwater camera. I would hang off of our swim platform until she got ready to dive off the back of the boat and then I would swim out just a little ways and snap photos and video. We did this over and over and over until I ended up with some awesome video footage and some pretty freaking cool photos.

This is what she looks like above the water :)

And... here is a song of hers, along with some pretty flipping cool underwater dolphin footage from a few of the times she (and her brother) were lucky enough to get to swim with dolphins in our 'back yard'!
