A few weeks ago my family took a short vacation down in FL where we visited family, and of course, the BEACH. It was a long anticipated break from the cold weather and snow we were having up here in Knoxville. My friend, Loida, heard that I was coming down and wanted some photos taken of her in the sand in beautiful Melbourne, FL. The day was gorgeous, but unfortunately the water was sooo COLD. Loida was defintely a trooper! Being a deputy herself, she has already proven that she can handle just about anything. Including freezing water. She is absolutely stunning! A true beauty on the beach. :o)
