Love the Beach

The sun is going down over the bay and two deck chairs are waiting under the thatched parasol, drinks already poured and a straw hat hooked over the back of one. A macaw has claimed the perch beside them.

Down on the sand a blanket is spread, with a picnic basket beside it and a canoe pulled up out of the surf. A wave curls in green and gold, dolphins jump beyond it, and a tall ship sits out past the lighthouse.
