san clemente sunsets

as you all know, mike and i don't have a whole lot of time to spend together.  but on occasion we'll do more than sit in our living room, eating egg burritos while watching lost.  

so a couple weeks ago, when the weather had made a turn for the better, we decided to go and watch the sunset.  by the time i got off work, mike had packed up a cooler with some cheese and crackers and we headed down to the beach.  it was so nice and peaceful just to sit and watch the waves and the surfers as the sun slowly drifted toward the horizon.  

i took a few photos and here are a few i wanted to share.  (have i told you guys how much i love living near the beach yet?)


here's an artsy one.

i tried playing with some of the editing options and i think this one came out pretty well.

once the sun went behind some clouds, there were so many beautiful colors in the sky.

and i finally got my in-focus picture of the moon.

GREAT shots Kirstin! i especially like the one of the lifeguard tower. Watching sunsets is so wonderful and serene. I suppose you wouldn't have to twist my arm to live near the beach!

You have a great week!
