~~~ The Reason for the Season~~~


My brother sent this to me & I thought I would share it with you all....

Pictures below are from a beach in Maryland Isn't the artwork awesome? Be sure to open up your screen all the way. The man creates new ones each day, as the ocean washes away his work every day. This is Chuck Ritchey, Sr. I have watched this man work on the beach at Ocean City , MD. Each time I watch him I marvel at his talent and fortitude because it is true that his works get washed away with the tide and he does them again. He is certainly a witness for Jesus Christ as thousands of people, in the course of a day, view his work and watch as he crafts his treasures. May his message be viewed by many.





Until Later

Hugs And Kisses

    Wow! How talented he is. You'd think he'd do something more permanent!

    Wow - such talent. It's too bad they wash away every day. I wonder if he also does sculpture using other more permanent mediums.

    Can you believe he's so talented. I'm sure it's relaxing "playing" in the sand, too! You're welcome to stop by if you're passing through; however, my house is not as neat as photographed. I move the cluuter around for photos! LOL! Tardevil

    Loved the sand sculptures. Must be a warm beach to do that. We just visited New York beaches and we were freezing.
