Sunset Moment

I love the word moment. I love every part of it—the way it looks and the way it sounds, how its meaning is crystal clear.

It’s now. It’s a flash of beauty that sears your mind forever, because it’s so damn special you can’t help but notice it.

Nothing else can compete with a moment.

This was a moment Mr. H and I shared together last week when we stayed at the Oregon Coast. We were spoiled, with the ocean in our front yard and 60 degree, sunny October days.

I brought my laptop with me, but I never opened it. I read, but not as much as I thought, as I was distracted by the view.

Every evening started the same way, sitting on driftwood in the sand, a front row seat at the Pacific Ocean theater.

There was nobody around. We had beer and a sunset.

And, we had a moment of…

AWE

HUMBLENESS

Huge thanks to Mr. H for manning the cam with his usual brilliance.

And believe it or not, we didn’t touch these photos. There are no effects, just moments.

Do you guys have a sunset moment fave?

  1. Beautiful – L-O-V-E 🙂 My favorite sunset moments are sitting on the beach next to my greatest someone and my favorite sunrise moments are walking on the beach with my greatest someone. We recently moved to Florida and are loving have water on three sides of us with plenty of beaches and green spaces. Happy Day – Enjoy!

  2. It’s great to see you out there enjoying every moment! Sunsets are really so amazing. Thank you for reminding me that I need to get to the beach more often! 🙂

  3. Life is experienced a moment at a time… some we want to hold on to, some we wish never happened. As Clanmother said, we are defined by them. But we can also influence them.

    1. Sure thing, honey! The Oregon Coast is really amazing. On the last night we tried to catch a final sunset, but this crazy fog rolled in right at that time. It blanketed the whole beach in about 10 minutes and you could only see right in front of you.

  4. I had a moment myself just yesterday, though it was more a feeling rather than something I saw. But in that moment, as I stood in the bathroom hugging myself and grinning at my reflection, I let all the feelings of happiness and relief just wash over me and I savored them bit by bit. Love all the photos, though I think Freedom is my particular favorite. What a great moment among moments.

    1. That’s beautiful, love. Those are the best moments, because they come from within.

      I like Freedom too. Mr. H got the right angle so it looks like I’m reaching into the sun. Win!
