I caught this beautiful sunset at Moonlight Beach, in beautiful Encinitas.

Morning light bathes South Ponto Beach, which lies just north of Encinitas in Carlsbad, California.

A week ago I was watching the sun go down and catching up with a great friend from college. I think the ocean is a good antidote to whatever heavy may be weighing on your soul and in your mind, if just for a few hours. I felt months of weariness wash away in these waves.
