Living relatively close to the beach, you would think I would go every once in a while but to the contrary. Since I've moved here years ago I've been at most twice in any one year. Not that the beach is bad but when you've seen clear blue warm waters in Hawaii and the Caribbean, California beaches are no match.
Last week I broke my dry spell and ventured out to the beach to view an amazing sunset. I was running errands after being bedridden for over a week due to a supposed bad cold that rendered me useless with the exception of sleeping or watching TV.
As I was running my errands, I realized that since the rain that just left an hour before that it would be an incredible sunset to photograph by the beach. I got back into my car, drove home to get my camera & drove as quickly as I could. Of course I hit every red light possible but watching the reds and oranges against the deepening sky kept me eager to see what awaited me. I reached the beach and parked my car in a red zone next to someone else who wanted to watch the sunset as well.
This was my first photo I snapped and I loved it! I didn't care that it was cold outside and didn't have a jacket on or that sand was getting inside my shoes. I was mesmerized by the beautiful sunset and the calming effect it had on me. It was over in a matter of minutes but the happy feeling stayed with me on the drive home and into the night.

It was also the first day that I had my energy back and fitting that the day ended on such a great note!
