So in between me nearly getting sucked into the path of a moving locomotive and shooting macros of driftwood, this women comes waltzing past me with a surfboard in hand and goes splooshing into Puget Sound. She paddled until she was completely out of sight and ended up coming back about an hour later, right when the light was just getting to that point where you look at it and want the moment to last forever.
Please note: The only other moments I’ve really wanted to last forever are ranked as such….
1. Marrying Corrieblueeyes
2. The birth of my children; not the labor part for my wife’s sake!
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
10. The light in this image… 
The empty one’s I have yet to fill, there is still so much to do in this life and God isn’t done with me by a long shot.
