I captured my first 2011 sunset, last night. Because of the new moon, there was a remarkably low tide.

  Thank you for all of your super compliments.

I had been planning on witnessing this sunset, for nearly a week. I had been keeping an eye on the tide charts and moon phases. I'm lucky to have seen this beautiful sight!!

Take care all!

Donna
