"I look back upon a day spent in what the world would call idleness, and for which I myself can suggest no more appropriate epithet, but which nevertheless I cannot feel to have been spent amiss. True, it might be a sin and a shame in a world such as ours to spend a lifetime in this manner; but for a few summer weeks it is good to live as if this world were heaven."
-- Nathaniel Hawthorne
I will have to agree with Mr Hawthorne….
...Sailor's delight...
...I do hate it getting dark so early but I can still be grateful for a beautiful pink sunset...
"We trowen [believe] that this day schal be a reyny day for that his morownyng was reed, or that to morow schal be a fayre day for that his euentide is reed."

Cadillac Mountain is well known for its beautiful sunrises...it is the first place on the eastern coast of the US to see the sun. For me, however, it was much more reasonable to try and see some sunsets. Sunset on the top of the mountain is a joyous event with lots of celebrants...
...it was well worth joining the crowd for...
Tuesday...
Wednesday...
Every sunset was a celebration...
each day of our stay at the beach was a gift to enjoy...Our first day in Florida was chilly but it wasn't the 10 inches of snow we were getting at home!
