Ken & Bea Rauch Mexican Kids
"We are always the same age inside."

-- Gertrude Stein

 

Photographing children enjoying the beach is one of our favourite pastimes. There's nothing as delightful as watching the Mexican kids on the beach as they simply have fun.

We love sharing photos from our readers. Please email your photos
