Summer 2009

A summer day at the beach. Yellow sun against a blue sky. Blue ocean with animated waves. Sandy beach with a yellow beach umbrella. A yellow beach towel lays underneath it. A red, blue, green and yellow beach ball bounces up the beach, past the beach towel and lands at the base of the beach umbrella.
