The Moments. The Dreams. The Passing Thoughts.

Keep Off Groins ~photo talk

I know this isn't a current photo, but I recently found it this morning stuffed away with other old albums. I took this picture originally with the intent of capturing the humor of the word groins and danger being on the same sign. However, as I look back at this I found myself thinking more on the fact that we so easily lose sight of the little things in life, much like this sign, as life takes over and covers it with business of routine. Sometimes you need to stop and laugh like a child at a word's double-entendre (in this case groins is referring to a hydraulic structure built to prevent the erosion of the beach). Interesting that such a word, "groin," will remind me of laughter and protecting the little moments of life that can get swept away with the tides of life is by definition a structure set up to protect a small beach from being washed away as well.
