It was my favorite time of day. The “Golden Hour” when the sun is low in the sky and bathes everything in golden light. I grabbed my camera and beckoned Nate down to the beach. “Time to take photos out on the beach!”

I had to sneak in a few photos of that happy puppy and the girls who where happily entertaining him. I tried not to draw too much attention to myself. “I hope they dont freak out that some random person is taking photos of them” I whispered to Nate. When they turned around to walk back towards us, Nate took the opportunity to say hello to the adorable puppy dog and I offered to take a few photos of them.
