Sunset Over Laguna

My parents have the most amazing view from the rear of their home. I don't get to visit nearly enough these days, but when I'm there, I'm reminded what a spectacular place we live in.

While there recently for dinner, I stood on the balcony, mesmerized by the sun setting over what was an uncharacteristically low cloud bank (the sun is actually setting over the ocean and when the clouds are gone, there is a breathtaking view of the water all the way out to Catalina Island):





Makes me sigh just looking at it again. Yes, beneath this tough exterior lies a sap at heart.
