Sunset on the Bay

Sunset is hard to beat for beauty.  It paints the world majestic colors and heaves you wanting more.  You hate to see it go but then, the inky sky breaks out in moon ,stars and fireflies and there is more beauty to see.

Meanwhile, we are under a tropical storm warning here. First of many for the summer I am sure.
 Ocean County, New Jersey

  9. Each photograph had a perfect quote under it, I thought. I hope and pray that you are safe. We had 70 mile an hour winds predicted for day before yesterday. It was night. We had rain, thunder, lightening and wind. We were suppose to have hail too. Got up yesterday, it was in the 90s. I didn't see any damage anywhere.
