The view from our lunch spot on Christmas Eve.

We were walking back to our tent to light our beach fire when I turned around and snapped this shot of the Point of the Arches with the stars were coming out. I sure do love walking down big sandy beaches at night.

We got clear blue skies on just about every trip we went on this summer. A blessing for hiking, camping, and views, but a curse for photography.

I tried to do the best I could with the clear skies.

Robin and I first went here the August before last for our anniversary and got totally rained out. We wanted redemption so we tried again and went back for my birthday in October. Luckily the weather was completely opposite and it was warm and sunny the whole weekend! :)

The funny thing was that we explored a lot more of this beach on our first trip since it was too cold to stop moving and too wet to sit down. On this trip all we did was pitch our tent in the sand and laze around in the sun the whole weekend.
