                  The sun was setting over the bay, streaking the sky pink and orange, as I walked my beagles one recent evening. They sniffed and managed to get their leashes tangled as I watched what only the artistic hand of Nature could manage and, as I often do on late afternoon walks, marveled at the beauty.
