Sunset Beach

My brother's family used to have a beach house on Sunset Beach, this was the view from their front porch of the beach and sky.  I miss California terribly during Covid.  I miss walks on the beach with my then two year old niece as she would chase the seagulls and dig into the sand using her shovel.
