Au naturelle – didn’t have the heart to mess with nature on this photo, she didn’t need any (software) help from me. The shot was taken while observing sundown over buckets of Budweiser on the beach … Fort Myers beach in Florida.

OMG, Tobin! Thank you for putting me on your Versatile Blogger Award! I guess I have a little work to do. Haven’t thought of myself as ‘cool’ in a few years now.

The golden sunset at the beach is just perfect. It’s like being in a beautiful dream only its real . What can be more fun than a beer in a can/bottle as you gaze at the graceful sun. Thank you for sharing a wonderful sunset with us. Unforgettable! Have a blessed weekend.

Hey Mr. B. Those caramel sunsets seem to be fairly regular on the Gulf Coast of Florida. Thank you for the feedback, as always.

I spent a day at Galveston Beach a few years ago but didn’t stay long enough to watch the sun set. Thanks for your feedback Mr. B.

Thanks for stopping by, Maggie. It certainly was nature at one of her high moments! Cold beers in a bucket of ice at the Pub on the Beach sure did make it even more relaxing and enjoyable.
