Synchronized at Sunset

DAY 09 - a photo you took

This picture is accompanied by a really peaceful memory.  As the sun set on the beach in Canoa, Ecuador this September, I and my friend Katie sat in the sand watching native fishermen, families, friends, and animals come and go.  The weather wasn't perfect--a little windy--but it still felt like paradise to me.  The pelicans put on a show for us that evening, dancing in the air and diving into the sea.

(It was the first time I'd had my new camera out in public, and snapping dozens of photos made me feel very important and professional. :P)
