Today, I took my dog Peanut Butter to the dog beach in Belmont Shore. It was the perfect day for the beach. We were able to spend our trip under clear skies and a bright sun. I made sure to leave around twelve or one in the afternoon to make sure that we could go out when the sun would be at it's highest point. When we got there, I let him off his leash as usual and watched him run straight for the water. As I was watching him splash in around and chase after other dogs, I thought to myself how much the sun played such an important role in the happiness of me and my dog. It really is a life source that gave us the energy we needed to get out of the house and have a good time. Along with the clear skies, the sun's reflection off the water lit up the entire beach with a beautiful blue tinted light that reminded me of what we discussed in class about memory. It reminded me about how we light good memories brighter and better in our heads than the actual light of the event that had taken place. I felt that watching Peanut Butter play at the beach was lit as a memory and that I could not have lit it any better myself if I were trying to recall what the day was like. This picture isn't of Peanut Butter, but it captures the emotion and life of our day.
