About the photo: During the month of May, I lost the focus and desire to take photographs. A camera held no interest to me. After some rest, however, I finally found myself out and ready to take photos again. So yesterday, I ventured out to the marina at Corpus Christi bay and the Wednesday night sailboat races. It was wonderfully warm and sunny. It was a time to relax and watch the boats sail around the bay. The boats were of varying sizes, some large and some small. Some with white sails, some with silver and gold, others with primary colors. I tried to take photographs that depicted movement between the boats but that also gave a nod to the water, the sky, and the sea wall.
