Lovely!
Thanks Dan!
Both shots capture that wonderful end of day mood beautifully
Both pics remind me of Summer of ‘65 lifeguard days. Compo pic looks like our after 6 pm run ( usually 4-6 miles) when we’d grab a coke with ice from Chubby’s and sit cooling down by the guard shack. Laughing at bad jokes and girl watching were Staples that summer. I think several of the lifeguard gals had transistor radios so pop tunes from NY WINS, WABC etc. filled the cool afternoon breezes. I thank God for Westport days and Compo Beach summer of 1965! We had rational leaders in Washington then.
