Changing Tendencies

Words & Photography
by Jamie Swart

Now you can find me building sand castles...and not seeming to care much if a wave catches my leggings instead of the tips of my toes.

I'm not much for getting sand all over me. I tend to not get wet on purpose so that maybe less sand will stick to me at the end of our beach time. But then I had a baby boy who's love for the ocean, sand and sun came into my world and has turned all of my previous tendencies upside down. Now you can find me building sand castles, rolling dump trucks around in the sand and not seeming to care much if a wave catches my leggings instead of the tips of my toes. He makes me live a little wilder and a little freer and I love it.
