Goodbye, Lake B

Monday morning, August 15.

My goodbye ritual remains the same.  When the (rental!) car is packed and we're ready to head home, I head on down to the lake for one last look.  It didn't disappoint, either, with a picture perfect scene complete with wispy clouds as I stood on the dock.

So many memories, stored up in my heart as I turn my face toward home life, treasures I pull out as I close my eyes and see these scenes.  Goodbye, Lake Bonaparte--I will see you next summer, Lord willing.

Last Day on the Lake

Sunday, August 14.

I let my camera rest on Saturday, while Dad and Mom, and Fernando and I went into Watertown to get a rental car.  Mom and I convinced the guys to stop at a resale shop, and then we made our way back to the lake.  It rained that evening, and I didn't pick up my camera again until Sunday night's sunset, which started as a bit disappointing...

But then, the colors soon unfolded, bit by bit.

And the sky became ablaze with layers of color, from swaths of dark gray to bright orange puffs, and stripes of orangey-red along the horizon.

A while after sunset, I captured this "blue hour" photo below.  Surreal!

A perfect end to our lake vacation this year.
