Description

~This was one of these moments when you watch and hold your breath. His mother was standing nearby watching him, so I opted not to say anything. An man standing nearby me was making his plan of action for how we were going to recue him when a wave caught him and swept him off the pier. He is actually further away from the edge in this picture than he was most of the time.~

Great title for this storytelling capture. Glad you were watching out for him if disaster did strike. Things like that can happen in a second. Gosh, I sound like a Grandmother. LOL #1668816
