sunset starts with s


One of my very favorite things in life is...
loading everyone up in the car on a beautiful evening and heading for the beach. Eating a simple dinner in the sand, watching my kids splash in the waves, taking in the golden glow that the sun casts across the beach as it starts its descent... and then, the glorious sunset. I am continually amazed at the brilliant colors of the sky as the sun sinks down into the sea... and the unique beauty of a sunset. A gift. For us.
I want to believe that Fall is not quite here yet... even though the pencil marks on my calendar show otherwise. But I hope that if a free evening comes along... that I might remember, and have the energy, to head down to the beach again before Spring. Because when my toes are covered in sand, and the sky is alive with the colors of the setting sun... breathing seems a bit easier and God feels a little closer to my heart.

more showing than telling





It was a great weekend to try out the many new camera tips from Melissa. The sky was the brightest blue... and we were out and about in the world. And I discovered a few new places I'd like to return to. I have some lovely pictures to show, but I can't, for the life of me, tell you the hows or the whys. Because I can never remember what I did when. In that sense, I am not learning what I am doing right or wrong... but I am not quitting either. That must count for something!
