Wednesday walk: sunset on the lake

My husband and I took our favorite walk along a wooded trail to the marina. It was a beautiful, warm, September evening.

I always marvel at how long the warm summer days last into September, before rather suddenly turning chilly. I keep wanting to go to the gym, but knowing what’s coming, and loving the outdoors as much as I do, I just can’t choose the stuffy air of a gym over a long walk on a trail.

Okay, I’ll come back to more beautiful pictures of boats and sunset, but first I want to step back about 20 minutes to the beautiful tree-lined trail.

The sky dimmed considerably as we reached the marina. But with the cloud cover and setting sun, it had turned a glowing vibrant pink.

And as we continued to stroll along, the colors changed and became an ever deeper pink and orange.

The reason I love water so much is because side it is ever changing, depending on the time of day, the season, the weather and the clouds. I never get tired of this particular spot and looking at the reflection of the boats and the sky.

Thank you for visiting!
