Seeing Red

People stopped in their tracks to watch this evening's sunset. Logs that had been washed ashore made great front row seats. 

It was Valentine's Day, and nature acknowledged it by painting the town beach red.

And ... just when I thought it couldn't possibly get any brighter, it did!

The tide was on its way out and the shallow channels of water looked like rivers of lava.

I thought the sky would gradually fade to diluted shades of red but instead it changed to amber.

And never far from my side were my shadows - my dogs. They sat beside me, enjoying the cool night air.  

Such a special way to spend Valentine's evening.
