Happy Summer Solstice, everyone! This summer might be a quiet one here on the blog, since it's been decreed the Summer of the Dissertation for me, which basically involves hunkering down and madly scribbling out a Ph.D. thesis in two months. Baking, photography, travel--all non-essentials, basically--are being cut down to the bare minimum. But, two months of this self-imposed jail, and there is light at the end of the tunnel!
In the meantime, I couldn't miss watching the Summer Solstice sun set on the Pacific Ocean, so after a long day of work, we traversed the Santa Cruz Mountains to the beach just in time to see the sun dip below the horizon.
(Also, you know when you've been working on datasets for too long when you go to type out "sunset" and accidentally find yourself typing "subset." Sigh.)
