What was the situation in which this photo was taken?

This photo was taken at my family beach house. It is beyond beautiful and looks over Ocean Grove Beach- and then some. It has been in the family since 1930. My boyfriend Aaron had just purchased these delicious sunnies for me, that day!!! We went for a swim and played music all day. The Sky was blue and then violet that night. We danced, cooked and played all day and night. The magic garden is reflected in my sunnies- the garden that whips you to the dramatic ocean ahead. This beauty leaves no stone unturned and a tear of pure joy in my heart.
