Cee’s Black & White Photo Challenge: Anything that Starts with the Letter S

This week’s Cee’s Black and White Photo Challenge (CB&W) topic is Anything that Starts with the Letter S. The world has many objects, animals, plants that start with the letter S.

I love the Salmon and the Sheep. I can see the Salmon at my own beach, toward the south end where the fisherman launch their boats. This week it’s all about sand, skimboarding, surfing, seagulls, and of course, SUP.
