On The Beach


On The Beach
Rehoboth Beach, DE
Summer 2015

While others sit on the beach, wearing next to nothing, I take this time to cover up.  The sun is not my friend.  Both of my parents had serious bouts of skin cancer.  And I am white and Irish.  I am cursed by the sun.

I am usually the only person there fully clothed. Long sleeves, long pants, a hat, a blanket to cover my feet and a sun shelter are my usual attire and accessories.  As my friend mockingly says to me, "Hurry up Kel, we are going to the beach.  Put your burka on."
