It may not be a grand light that has a history of seafaring lives saved, it is just a humble light on a lake. Freshly painted and lit, beckoning the sunset as it turns to night. Guiding August out, and leading September in.
It is not yet the end of August and yet, Friday’s walk showed that fall is closer than it seems. When Joe and I turned the corner on the trail there it was, fall color across the field.
It was a spur of the moment “yes” that got me out Saturday evening to get some sunset pictures. My daughter said “Let’s go!”, I hesitated thinking of the task I was just about to start. Then I seized the moment and went. It was great, we haven’t been able to do as much recently with work and life. I knew she really wanted to show me her sunset viewing spots, and I made the time. Well worth it, plus we saw sheep!
This tide pool is set high above the shore in a scoured out space that gives it bowl like setting. It didn’t smell very good, but sure made a nice image. After my statement about needing to spend some time at the shore I actually did it. Rate for me, as I can make a million excuses that other things need attending to. This time I followed through with my desire for a day away. It was a family outing too, which are waning fast as the girls take on their adult lives. But, we did go and enjoyed a day away though the tide was out.
It is almost time for another day away, to wade in the cool Atlantic water and walk the sun warmed sand. To tip my face up to catch the late summer rays, and breathe in the salty air. To clamber over rocks and peer into tidal pools.To get ice cream or seafood chowder to eat waterside while we enjoy the waning summer days.
Summer sun, winter cold and all the other types of weather have taken their toll on the wood on this old library building. But the window glass still catches the reflection of the clouds passing by.
