Life Is Measured By Moments That Take Our Breath Away

The above is taken from a quote that is on a garden ornament that our dear friends Jack and Carol have at their lake shore home in Maine. Tonight I happened to look out the window and saw the sun going down. I rushed to the Old 7 Mile Bridge with my camera phone. I had not taken any sunset photos since September 20 because we were either busy or there were so many thick storm clouds that there were no colorful sunsets to photograph. I did take a few photos on September 22 while on security rounds at the marina.

On each evening I had my breath taken away...

As other were leaving, too early. I actually stopped several people and told them to turn around and see what they were missing.



My breath was taken away!!!!

After sunset I looked toward the Gulf and in the twilight I saw ...
