Today I came home to a pile of sand at the top of the stairs. No one loves sand more than Erika. A day at the beach or the playground always yields enough silica to construct a dozen solar panels. It just pours from her shoes, her clothes, her ears and her hair. No wonder really. The first thing she does when she comes in contact with sand is to hug it as if it were her favorite blanket. After a lengthy embrace, she begins sampling it with her tongue - "Hmmm, this brand of sand may be light in color but bold in oceany goodness with strong Maui notes and a hint of Cabo. A very fine blend indeed." She has to brush her teeth less when she samples sand and I suppose it supplies some good dietary roughage too.
This Polaroid Land Camera shot was taken in Laguna Beach, Summer 2007, when Erika was about 1 1/2.
