I LOVE the ocean!  Being able to go to a dog show at the beach was the perfect day for me on Saturday in Wildwood, NJ since dogs and the beach are two of my most favorite things!  I had a difficult time choosing between photographing the dogs and going outside to see the ocean!  The day started out very rainy, so that helped me to decide to stay indoors and enjoy the show.  The convention center has floor to ceiling windows overlooking the beach and I found myself gazing out at the water quite often!  Later in the afternoon the rain stopped and the clouds began to clear.  I never did see the end of the dog show because the ocean was calling my name!  I love this image of the pier, wet sand, and boat in the distance.  There are even a few gulls thrown in for good measure!
