Beach birthday party

The birthday boy

Yesterday it was our friend Bryce's birthday.  There was a small party at his sister's place, which is located on the water at Indian Cove.  It's a beautiful spot, and they have a fire pit down at the water.  It was a low key night, watching the harbor porpoise and salmon splashing around in the cove.  I know I say it a lot, but it's so beautiful here. 

 

Earlier in the evening there were a bunch of thunderstorms that passed through the area, which is very, very rare for Juneau.  Sometimes they'll go years between thunderstorms, though there was one last September, just after we got here.  But, the clouds made for a gorgeous sunset when the sun finally dropped below the cloud horizon and was still above the land horizon.  This is a first for me - a rainbow at 10 pm!
