A Special Moment

Uploaded: September 27, 2012

Description

We had gone to the marina for dinner and to watch the sunset and a young boy was walking back and forth on the large rocks. I heard a person grumble because he was in their opinion ruining their opportunity for a good sunset photo…I thought to myself, “He IS the photo”. This young boy had all of my heartstrings. I was happy for being allowed to share just a moment of his world.
