Sometimes it's the right place at the right time ... fully prepared or not !

After stopping on an evening walk to use our friend's new dock as a different vantage point for some sunset photos I was underwhelmed with the show. Chilled from the dropping temperature and wind of Lake Huron I headed back to the cottage for the night ...


They call it Devil Island
(... and now I think I know why)


... but I had to head back out looking for the lens cap I had dropped somewhere along the route I had taken. I checked all of the places I stopped, including the deck and when I got to the end of the road I got distracted by the sky ablaze through the trees. Investigating a little further, I made my way a short few meters through the bush to what used to be shoreline, but the water level is up and now into the trees leaving no room for dry footing and a clear view out over the water.

Suffice to say I got my shoes and pants soaking wet ... but I got the shot !

Sunset over Devil Island
Sunday evening sunsets at the cottage are particularly soothing ... more often than not they signal a beginning rather than an end ... the beginning of an extended stay at the cottage, beyond simply a weekend.


"As the sun dips below the surface
silver waters gain a hint of gold,
their riches flow around my feet
giving me memories to be told."
