Beach Beauty

When I went to the beach last weekend, I didn't expect to experience such beautiful sunlight. I only noticed as I was lying on my towel, and saw the sun positioned directly above me with an incredible rainbow ring encircling it. (I did, of course, have sunglasses on.) The sky was mostly clear, except for a few streaks of clouds running across the ring, spotlighted by the sun's rays. The ring looked as though it was glowing, and was emitting its own light; I tried to capture this within the first picture. I realized that there is so much beautiful light in the sky that I probably don't acknowledge on a daily basis.
