This image reminds me of a still from a movie. I guess this whole day was sort of like a movie. Road trip with a scruffy haired boy up the California coast, windows down, music turned up. It was a week into the fall season but it was warm like mid-summer. I had just returned to LA three weeks before, still nursing a broken leg but now meandering around with one crutch. I was worried about the sand. walking on it and getting it on my boot. I need to learn not to worry so much. That evening's sunset seemed to last forever. Driving back into town, we stopped on a bluff and watched the beachgoers below, moving with the incoming tide. I didn't want this day to end.
