Today's Sunset, March 31st


The days of grey pile up on each other …
Like a stack of wet books on a soggy blanket.
I guess that’s what I get for living outside.

Still, the Loons love it!
The ducks don’t mind it either.
Plus, I managed to squeeze out a picture of today’s sunset,
However, wet!

So, there goes the neighborhood!
At least, there goes the view of each day’s sunset for me.

I’ll be looking for another port to drop anchor …
Another place to set up camera.
Another spot to capture a view ,
Of the next day’s end.

Any ideas?

Today's Sunset, March 30th


Ah, springtime!

Rain and clouds, and more rain …
We haven’t seen the sun all day.

But, I’m sure it’s setting out there somewhere …

Guaranteed!

Today's Sunset, March 29th


This day draws to its eminent end.
A loon whistles off in the distance,
Sea gulls squawk on the horizon.
Soft, blue lights fade … into darkness.

Today, I saw an osprey scoping out the tower in The Park. I wonder if we’ll be treated to a nesting pair this year. I have my doubts, due to development within yards of the tower. I emailed my concerns to Three Rivers Park District, but they must be busy celebrating spring …

Like we all should be!

Today's Sunset, March 28th


Top this?

A blue heron flew across the horizon,
Just as I put my camera down!

Jeepers! It must be Spring somewhere's!

Today's Sunset, March 27th


ICE OUT!

A loon floats out
On the horizon,
Awaiting its’ mate
Beneath deep waters.

It’s just as I pictured it in my dreams!

Today's Sunset, March 26th


You have to be careful as you gaze out upon the black ice this time of year.

As I look out today, I have visions of spring-running rivers in a Northwood wilderness pushing West!

All I really see is cracks in a World gone bad with war and hate and …

Still, God moves my eyes up …
And beyond this day.

Till tomorrow?

Today's Sunset, March 25th


That time of year
When days run warm,
When ice turns black …

When Hope returns.
God rained on yesterday’s sunset, here.
I stayed inside, thank you.

Today's Sunset, March 23rd


Every day, as it comes to it’s own end …
Must be PERFECT.
I dunno … I ain’t perfect.

But, the One who created THIS DAY …

Well, He got this sunset PERFECT.

Today's Sunset, March 22nd


Funny thing,
This first day of Spring …

Fish are bitin’
On the horizion.

Today's Sunset, March 21st


I have no idea what’s up with this day's sun ... the geese know more then me!
I heard about a solar flare that danced on the sun in the news … but, I thought the sun was done set by now!
Been in and out of a fog, since earlier!
No wait … just some foggy weather here!

Well, this day left me with such a sunset ... no complaints here.

Still, I have no idea what was setting on the day’s horizon.

Today's 'Spring' Sunset, March 20th


It’s a ‘spring-time’ yearning …
At least, for me.

And, for all those who viewed this day’s sunset.

Thanks, friends.

Today's Sunset, March 19th


The sunset seemed a bit hotter then the day.
But then, there was the wind … blowin’ out of the west.

I didn’t mind it a bit. I hope all my friends made out okay today.

God does bless, eh?

Today's Sunset, March 18th


Somehow, I expected today’s sunset to be darker.

But, in the end, all of God’s finest colors melded together into an image I could not improve upon. That’s just the way God works.

A fine image of today,
I leave behind.
A promise of tomorrow,
Is on my mind.

See you then, eh?

Today's Sunset ... Happy St. Pat's Day, eh?


I am no prophet … never claimed to be One.
All I know is, I said … Today would be a ‘perfect’ day!

I like the way God thinks! He made ‘perfect’ everything I’d mess up this day.
I know … I know my God.

This is for some new friends I made today; JW, and his family of ‘four’. Only talked to the man, but I like the way he thinks … on the ‘wing’, eh?
Yeah, the ‘right wing’ …

God is a ‘perfect’ God. There is no Other.
That’s just what I think.

Today's Sunset, March 16th


Spring is just around the corner. Still, a cold wind blows off Spring Lake.

Oh, Shucks!

Yeah, I just realized ...

Saturday is a 'perfect' Twelve-hour Day.

Go figure!!!

Phew.

Today's Sunset, March 15th



A brief snow-burst at 6:30 pm wet the ground. It only lasted a few minutes.

The clouds parted, and the sun shown through … ‘Old Reliable’, eh?

Check out this Panoramic View.

Today's Sunset, March 14th


I sat and watched this setting sun,
It burned through the clouds like a smoldering coal.

I paused. I took a breath.

I panned the horizon and couldn’t believe what I saw. It was as though a thick, brown haze floated over the farms and valleys just south and west of my home in Spring Lake.

Take a ‘look-see’ for yourself!

I’ve been to The Twin Cities enough to know how clouds of pollution tend to hang over such a ‘melting pot’ of cultures … but, what the **** is it doing in MY backyard?

Such is the view from Spring Lake tonight, looking south and west (if you click on clues to reveal secret photos).

Winter is melting around here. No complaints from me.

Today's Sunset, March 12th


Another day ...
Another chance to get it right.

I must still be learning.

But, I sure enjoyed tonight!

Today's Sunset, March 11th


This day’s a’swirl’ed in a weird’ed world of colors that comes from the greens and the pinks and the blues of today …
Just like the days that will come again, tomorrow …
Lord willing since we're saving daylight time, now.
Sh*t.

Today's Sunset, March 10th


A busy day out on Spring Lake …
And, a glorious day of sun!

Seems everyone’s out to recreate …
Up till this day is done.

Look forward to tomorrow!

Today's Sunset, March 9th


I got a special view of the sun today, as it set softly in the sky.
My eyes were fixed, and my camera focused in the distance.

I almost forgot to look up.

I almost missed my Angel!

Today's Sunset, March 3rd



So, it's been awhile.
Knee-deep in snow drifts.
Finally, we see the sun.
