 Thank you to all for the ribbon!

I have learned to always carry my camera and tripod with me when I take my girls to swim practice. As we drove up, I noticed that this particular night had what had to be the best sunset colors I have ever seen. I was about 5 minutes later than I would've liked, so I missed the sunset itself, but the sky colors were still impressive.

That's some incredibly calm water! Lovely color, too. Didn't you have the urge to toss a rock in just to watch the ripples? Congrats on the ribbon!!
