Robot Head

I always like having fun. No matter what I do I can always find a way to make it fun. A friend of mine needed help with some things and while I helped I made sure I got this fun photo. Here I am dressed as a robot. I really like technology, especially robots. Who doesn't love robots? However, here, I wanted to know what you thought of me.

At the Beach - Sand Sculpting

So, obviously it's summer time. There are many things to do in the summer, right? But one of the best things to do is go to the beach! "But what can you do at the beach?", you may ask. Well, I'm glad you asked! One thing you can do is play in the sand!
As far as I know, everyone has played in the sand at one time or another. Dig up holes, pile it up into big mounds, even try to build little sand castles! That last one is something that I want to talk about. Sand castles are hard enough, but I have been interested in doing something a bit more. Since I have started going to the beach in Japan, I have been trying to make sand sculptures, basically making art with sand. It is very difficult (at least for me), and can take quite a bit of time. There are many pictures on the internet of people's artwork with sand, and it is amazing! For example, here is a picture of a shark sand sculpture:

Isn't that amazing! The detail in the eyes and the teeth are astounding! Not to mention the size of the shark in the sand. Now, this next picture is my attempt of a shark:

It's...not bad, for someone with no experience, right? But still, it doesn't even compare to the first shark. I don't think I will ever be as good, especially since I only go to the beach maybe once a week, and summer won't last forever. Still, it is definitely something to try while at the beach, and can be quite fun (if a bit frustrating, hahaha).
