a summer evening. north carolina 2009

You know when you spend the day at the beach
(eating, swimming, reading, swimming, napping, swimming, etc.)
and suddenly you realize the beach is nearly empty?

That is my favorite time to be at the beach.

Around 7pm, I can try to surf or skimboard without worrying about
running into people or making a fool of myself in front of a crowd.

The beach belongs to me and whoever is with me.
That is one of the best feelings in the world.

*My dad always said that this time of day is feeding time for the sharks.
Maybe that made it more fun/exciting to play in the water?
