Best Shot Monday

my shot isn't from this week. but as i was backing up my vacation pictures i just fell in love with this one and HAD to use it.
running, arms out stretched, on an empty beach while the sun sets on another beautiful day.

this is the first time we took bean to watch a sun set. she was a little bored at times but found ways to occupy the time. "writing" her name in the sand with a stick, throwing rocks into the water, and of course running. my mom told her to look as the sun was finishing its decent. i turned to her and said, "looks like the sun is going into the water, doesn't it?" she looked up and smiled, "yeah, it does."* i smiled too. she briefly posed for a picture with me then ran off to walk back to the cottage with nana. sigh. why do these moments pass by so quickly?

don't forget to check out the rest of the best shots over at tracey's!!

*note: later daddy asked her if the sun really goes into the water and she looked at him like he was nuts and said, "no daddy. it just looks that way." :)
