Sunset on the lake

PhotoStory Friday
Hosted by Cecily and MamaGeek

Yes, the ground is now white in my neck of the woods and will remain so for many months, but I just discovered a folder of photos I never got around to sharing so I will be throwing some from warmer days in for a while.

So, there I was waiting for the boat to come to shore and take me out and I thought the sky was really pretty.

It didn't take long for the sun to start setting. These two photos were taken 13 minutes apart. Amazing!

And 9 minutes later it was still beautiful! It was chilly out there, but I imagine now that lake is frozen, and unboatable.  So here's to remembering warmer days and reminding myself they will come again.

  12. Lovely! And will the warm days really come again? Really?? I saw a news report where a whole team of people got together to "de-snow" the Green Bay Packers' stadium. So I figured that yes, snow must have come to Wisconsin!

    Hint hint...I bet that you could take some gorgeous "snowscape" pictures. For those of us who just have sleet, cold and biting wind, but no pretty snow to make up for it, it would be a lovely distraction!

  24. It's good to have such reminders when winter surrounds you. These were marvelous ... I love the angled perspective on the sunsets and want to remember to try that sometime.
    Hugs and blessings,
