You must stay for at least one sunset

Posted on August 29th, 2008 by SusieJ

This is for my Dad; who will be 69 on Sunday, and isn’t sure yet if he can stay with us for one night at the lake. I hope these pictures, of a summer of sunsets, will help to change his mind.

I know the drive is far up here to the lake. I know you want to hurry and get back home before it gets too late. But, you owe yourself at least this much. Stay for at least one sunset.

No two are alike.

But sunsets at the lake tend to stay and settle in your heart.

And they pull you back for

yet another

visit
to the lake.

Like all of you, I am overwhelmed and am currently working on a plan to eliminate all need for sleep so that I will have enough hours in the day. I'll let you know as soon as I have all the kinks worked out. I treasure your comments and emails. I do read them all.

    You’re killing me here: first of all, the photos are beautiful; second, I am not ready for summer at the lake to END. Bah! But, truly, these pics are lovely. You’re quite good.

    So beautiful!!

    I have a sunset “curse”…if there’s ever a beautiful sunset, I somehow don’t have my camera. And if I have my camera, there is no sunset (too cloudy, etc). *sigh*

    :)
