The day had been hot … tired after a busy day … we drove down the hill to the lake … in search of the cool evening.
So quiet … and tranquil … the water still.
A swan puffed its wings … pushed hard … and glided past.
A family of geese … startled by our presence scuttled into the water.
The sun slowly sinking … sending golden rays shimmering into the dying light …
Peaceful …
Just the birds singing their last song …
Cooled by the gentle breeze off the water …
We headed home …
The end of a perfect day.
Great photos of a wonderful, peaceful place.
ReplyDeleteHello Elaine:
ReplyDeleteHow lovely to have such a place, obviously within easy reach of you, to which to retreat at the end of a late spring day which, from that which we read, was unseasonably warm. It looks from your most appealing images to be the perfect spot for a summer picnic supper.
For just one moment in time I was with you. So very beautiful, a perfect end to a lovely day. May you have many more of them my friend.............
ReplyDeleteThat family of geese in the sunlit water is amazing! And that swan photo is like something out of a painting Elaine :)
ReplyDeleteLovely photos.. and what a beautiful, tranquil place to be :o)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful sunset. My favorite, the one with the swan.
ReplyDeleteThat really reached out to me.
ReplyDeleteThat's just lovely. A pleasure to read, Elaine.
