Sunset in Southwest Texas

Seeing the sun for the first time in several days yesterday was pure bliss!!  And the spectacular sunset that started the evening was breath taking.  Here is the progression.

This heron brought my attention to what was happening behind me.

And when I thought it was over, the colors came back for another level of spectacular!

Visitors

It's been cold and rainy.  Yesterday the weather finally broke and warmed enough one could stand to be outside long enough to visit with the neighbors.  While visiting, I realized there was a heron down at the end of the cove.  We don't see many blue herons down here; the white are far more common.

"Stalking"

It's A Good Life

Yesterday I enjoyed:

• a long kayak on the lake
• a cheery fire
• a nice glass of wine
• husband and "kids" by the fire 
• a beautiful sunset
• and a couple visitors

But mostly I enjoy a grand life indeed....
