We headed to the marina this afternoon to work on the boat. We were treated to a lovely sunset when we were done.

A day in the life of the sky.
We spent Saturday & Sunday nights on the lake this past weekend with Marty & Sue. As I looked back over the photos I took, I was captivated by the different colors in the sky from shot to shot. These are several from a 24 hour period, Saturday evening to Sunday evening.
Saturday sunset:
Crescent moon and Venus in Saturday’s twilight:
Sunrise on Sunday:
Thunder-boomer building Sunday night:
And the crescent moon again, Sunday night:
Life is good.
Wandering sun.
I spent this weekend on the lake with some girlfriends on Nirvana. In the cove that we anchored in, there is a lovely view of both the sunset and the sunrise.
Saturday’s sunset from the stern:
And Sunday morning’s sunrise glow from the v-berth hatch.
Friday at the lake.
Lovely sunset off the stern:
Cotton candy sunset.
Taken off our stern last night. 
Magic hour.
I took this shot from the back of the boat, as the sun was setting last night.
Sun set on a lovely lake day.
Today was one of our first days on the lake this year! Usually we’ve been tearing it up for several months already. But life has keps us both busy. Julie and Ryan joined us for the day. We were excited to see Marty and Sue and their beautiful new boat!
We both went out for a sail in light winds. It was nice to be out there – a beautiful sunny day.
Back at the marina, we enjoyed watching the setting sun together. The lake is at 683.66, several feet over full. The water is flooding parts of the parking lot at the marina. A site we have not seen for 6 years or more. The flood gates on the dam will be opened on Monday to lower Lake Travis a bit, as more rain is expected next week. I have not forgotten the feeling that many years of drought brought, but to see the lake brimming is truly a sight to see.
The sun sets on January.
Wow. That was fast. January flew by. This weekend is very un-January-like, though – sunny, with temps inching into the 80s. I took this shot as the sun was dropping last night. The light through the trees was gorgeous.
We’ve decided to leave the signpost up that I made for last summer’s family reunion. It just seems right.
Peaceful, easy feeling.
We enjoyed a slow day at the lake. Anchored in our spot and had the cove to ourselves by nightfall.
Goodnight.
Goodnight mountains.
Goodnight moon.
Goodnight Mom.
I’m going back home in the morning.
Nite, nite.
Monday Monday.
Worked from mom’s house again, and then headed out to meet Colleen and Jake for dinner. Our table had a beautiful view overlooking Elliott Bay. Simply gorgeous.

And….. The golden hour:
It’s Friday!
We tried a nice Indian place for dinner. I loved it. We took the long way home and waited a half hour watching the sun set behind the Olympics. Simply gorgeous. If we waited another 20 minutes it would have been even more amazing. Stay tuned. 🙂
Seventh inning stretch.
We hopped on the ferry tonight to watch the Mariners play the Angels. A group of ten of us sat together in King Felix’s court, rooting for the Ms. As the sun was setting I popped up to the 300 level to get a peek over the Port of Seattle towards Elliot Bay. The haze is still thick. The sun was like a pink ball glowing in the sky.
And we won!
Goodnight, sun.
