I was coming home from a long walk on the beach, when this narrow view of the declining sun winked at me from behind a dune. I got as close as I could to get what I got, which wasn't much. But even a glimpse of these colors like melting sherbet delight me no end.

  22. Wow! Is that ever a nice reward at the end of a beautiful walk!!

    And on the post above -- sounds like you're gettng ready for the end of summer! Bill said the other day that (if he wasn't old and retired) it would be about time to think about summer's end and insrvice starting! (Now it's endless summer.)

    Seriously -- that does sound like an excellent book and I wish you a great school year! (And a great rest of the summer)
