The sails aren’t red, but the sun is definitely setting. I apologize for this photo being a bit fuzzy--the two sailboats were moving at a pretty fast clip, and I didn’t want them to get too far from the light, so I had to work fast. It seemed odd that the boats were heading out so late, when the sun was so close to being down, plus further along the lake it looked like a storm was brewing. Not long after I took this shot the boats turned and hurried back to the marina, so they must have thought better of their plans, too.

Red sails in the sunset, way out of the sea
Oh carry my loved one home safely to me

A very lovely, nad rather romantic picture.
Yes, I agree with Bobbie, truly lovely and romantic shot! Such gorgeous colors. Does make you want to sail away into the sunset!
Lovely photo, but having once weathered a big storm in a small boat, I am most glad to hear that they came back to shore.
I really love the light on the water
i like your photo especially with the sunset off on the side.
Beautiful photo - the combination of the boats and sunset looked so lovely!
Deborah, I like that little couplet. Did you write it? Lovely pastel sunset too.
I remember that song, Deb... It was popular when I was a kid...
Great photo--showing the sun AND the sailboats. Amazing.
Hugs,
Betsy
This looks like a painting my Grandmother had up on her wall in Billings. I can see why you were pressed for a capture; they must have been moving with such full sails.
I am not finding the picture fuzzy, it is a beautiful greeting card shot.
A lovely post!
The caribean is like a friendly, great tub.
the atlantic is brown drown stormy;
the pacific is BIG but blue and magical, comnquered by canoes,
BUT Great Lakes scare me for some reason. Yeeeeeeeek!
Aloha-
Yes, I remember that song.
After seeing what the wind does on that lake, I sure wouldn't be heading out in the evening, even with a beautiful sunset. Much better to admire it from the shore.
the prayers of sails...
Thanks, Deborah!
Next week??
This is a beautiful composition!
Oh Deb, that is a beautiful image! No need for apologies in my opinion.
