Ah, the feeling of warm sand beneath my toes and the lapping of water against the shore…this is a sweet time of year because the sun sets early enough that I can enjoy it with my little boys. Midsummer I can’t do this without risking a couple of little grouches the next day, which of course wouldn’t be fair to Mommy.

We roamed around down by the rocks beneath the Northern Pacific bridge, watched a train cross overhead, threw a couple of rocks in the water, watched some boats go by, and then headed home for their bedtime. They love the sunset just like their Daddy…I only wish we’d remembered the frisbee!

The Sunset Song of the Day for this photo is “Down by the Sea” by Men at Work. It’s a nice, calm, meandering tune that captured the feeling of slowly padding along the shore…enjoying the golden reflection of the setting sun across the water and the brilliant blue of the overhead sky as the sunset colors waned.
