"...the best time to be at the Bungalow is when the sun drips into the ocean at the end of the day." ~ Brent Bolthouse

If it hadn't been for security at the door checking ID's (yes, he was kind enough to ask for mine)...
we could have been walking into the private beach bungalow of a friend... 

filled with sounds of music and merrymaking.

As the blue sky gives way to...

hues of purple,
 the patio becomes surrounded by strings of twinkle,
that seem to attract the masses,
like moths to a front porch light.  

Meanwhile...
in between the performance of nature...
the creative snack offerings at The Bungalow provided the photo of the week.
I mean...

don't you think.

Definitely one of my new faves in Santa Monica, and I have to agree with the owner...
his little bungalow is a great place to be when the sun goes down.
One of those spectacular moments you realize...

and is best when shared with family.

Happy Thursday.
