32. Painting With Light

I absolutely love the beach with its constantly changing colors and clouds, the rich blues and greens, the dark greys and purples, the pinks, oranges and yellows. There is never a time the beauty fails to evoke ooh’s and aah’s and excitement in me. There is a peace that comes with the sound of the waves thundering on the shore, the calls of the birds, and the gentle touch of the salt spray on my skin.

Last weekend, the clouds were spectacular throughout the day. We thought the clouds that continued to gather and build would completely block the sun, and we were prepared for a disappointing sunset. However, although there were no deep oranges and reds, the setting sun painted the water and the heavens with glorious light. That evening the beauty was all about the cloud formations and the light that played through them to paint a gorgeous sky and sea.
