Earth is a magnificent place to live. It's full of beauty, wonder, and sites to behold. It sparks wanderlust in all of us, from the mountains to the sea, and from the cities to the countryside, we all feel the urge to go explore and experience it.

For some of us, traveling freely around the world is just not in the cards, thankfully, there's Instagram. Instagram puts those out of reach places right in the palm of our hands every single day and gives us a little mental vacation from the daily grind.

It's no mystery that our favorite place to be transported to is our first love, the beach. There are so many wonderful things that make the ocean great, including it's ability to relieve stress and reset your soul, to it's sheer beauty. We dream of visiting beaches from around the world one day and breathing in what makes each one special. Until then we are able to live vicariously through the eyes of photographers from around the globe. 

This is why we love all the Instagram accounts that feature gorgeous, magnificent, jaw dropping, beautiful beaches in their feeds everyday, all taken by some of the best photographers from around the world. They capture ocean waves, palm trees, white sands, sunrises, sunsets, and of course sublime blue water. These photographers are sometimes locals collecting images of the world around them and sometimes they are travelers collecting memories of the places they have been. Either way we are grateful they allow us to share their views and experiences.

In this blog post we wanted to showcase a few of our photographers and show you a small sample of what you will find in beach feeds. We had a hard time choosing who to include, however we finally narrowed it down to six. There are so, so many more we would like to tell you about and we hope to do so in future posts.

These are in no specific order...

It's our belief that we are not just sharing beach pics, but through the power of Instagram we are bringing people together from around the world and showing that we are all connected in some way. What better way to do this other than sharing the calming peace of the ocean in pictures. 

Thank you,

 love shrimp. I don't want to going into a Bubba Gump shrimp rant here, but I love shrimp. Fresh shrimp, the ones you have to peel or pay to have peeled, not the pre-peeled frozen ones. Oh no. 

I've peeled more than my fair share, not sure how fair it is, but anyway. One day I'm standing there peeling and deveining, deveining and peeling a couple pounds of large 21-25 count shrimp, thinking, there has GOT to be a better way. 
​
I've try many different methods and tools over the years and it has been my experience the classic red peeler is the "best" way to go. I was just feed up with having the shrimp not peel completely, or get stuck on the peeler, then you have to adjust the peeler in the hand or set it down and use both hands to get the job done. That's when it hit me, if the peeler was mounted somehow and I didn't have to hold it, I could use two hands to peel and de-vein the shrimp like a champ. 

The first thing I did, after I ate dinner of course, was go online and do some research. Nothing close to my idea. So I thought about the design and how it would function. I made some drawings, then headed out to the garage. My first three ideas/prototypes were completely different from the production model. Its a long process of trial and error. Finally I had a simple, yet functional prototype that was ready for production.

The Shrimp Peeler Helper is made here in the USA out of plant based plastics in our little home workshop.

Thank you for your interest in the Shrimp Peeler Helper,
Denison

"...breeze is warm and the moon is bright
This endless summer
Boogie boards and diggin' holes
Sand castles and fishin' poles
What a way to save my soul
This endless summer
Just another day in paradise, another story I can tell
These are the moments we can share
Come on let me take you there."

So summer is upon us and it's time to put together plans for a cookout or dinner party. Invite over family and friends and have a fish or shrimp fry. Let the kids run through the sprinkler while you sit back, relax, socialize, and reminisce about childhood memories. While everyone is round plan a camping trip or trip to the beach.

Hope you have yourself a wonderful time this summer making new memories to add to your cherished collection.

Thank you,
Denison
