I guess photo talent runs in your family: You, your daughters, your sista’ Felicia, and her Amanda. And it’s not just the shooting, but making an effort to take the photo and share it. Atlantic Road?
From Wikepedia
Sea foam, ocean foam, beach foam, or spume is a type of foam created by the agitation of seawater, particularly when it contains higher concentrations of dissolved organic matter (including proteins, lignins, and lipids)[1] derived from sources such as the offshore breakdown of algal blooms. These compounds can act as surfactants or foaming agents. As the seawater is churned by breaking waves in the surf zone adjacent to the shore, the presence of these surfactants under these turbulent conditions traps air, forming persistent bubbles that stick to each other through surface tension. Due to its low density and persistence, foam can be blown by strong on-shore winds from the beachface inland.

Yes smart car! I never went out of my way to bathe my car’s undercarriage with salt water. Grass is much better.
