Silhouette



The beach is so spacious... but it felt so small and lonely.
The sun was so bright... but the clouds were so grey.

    This is wonderful! The colors and the light are so serene.

    Dear Lord, please put your arm around my shoulder and your hand over my mouth.

    Thank you! We went to the beach on Sunday (our home is literally a ten minute walk to Dana Point in CA), and the sky was really husky. I found that interesting (CA is usually bright and sunny, after all) and took a few pictures. That’s me and my mother in the photo :)
