long days

summer temperatures are comfortable, and pleasant in the ocean breeze, yet the water remains cold and few jump in for a swim...for the lifeguard, there can be many long days

He seems to be taking a break.

Rocks may also be a deterrent!

And with the rocks too…..nice timing to capture him. V

I hope they encourage lifeguards not to have their phones with them on the stands. An important job that doesn't need a phone distraction. It does look like a beautiful day for the beach.

A nice capture of the guardian of the beach.

Nice candid shot. The lifeguard looks bored, and the job doesn't look as exciting and as glamorous as one might get to think from watching Baywatch ... V

Great candid. I imagine he wouldn't mind going in the water occasionally, but not have to save someone.

Hats off to these brave women and men who put in the long hours to help keep folks safe in the water.
