Some things never change, like the way that it feels when you know that it's real

Over the years I've spent various stints at photo stores, but never in nearly a decade have I met a pair quite like Violet and Dino. If it wasn't enough to bring delicious muffins from the market on Saturday mornings they opened their home and hearts.

I love the way they interact with one another, quietly and carefully, but most of all their sense of adventure. On a Sunday afternoon drive we wandered to this private beach. With sand between our toes and a view of the Atlantic we knew the moment couldn't last. We were quickly asked to leave by some uptight rich folks who apparently owned the beach. Naturally it didn't spoil our fun, as we headed to Peggy's Cove for gourmet ice cream.
