On the post before last, I included a sunset with a flock of Canada geese drifting through. Someone mentioned it would be a good Skywatch post, but I thought today I'd show a slightly different shot of it. This is the sun's reflection just before the geese arrived. I like the way the differences in the water surface make it look almost like the sun is skipping across the water like a stone. The second shot was taken last night as I watched the ferry returning from Ohio pass slowly in front of the light, just as the sun slipped below the edge of the lake.

These are both really beautiful shots, Deb. I love that idea of the sun as a skipping-stone.
great shots, so peaceful
For a moment, I imagined I was there. So beautiful. I love the colors, the reflection, the peacefulness. Wild horses couldn't have dragged me away from that view.
I do have a friend (on my chase team) in Norfolk, who is a quarter mile from the coast. His neighborhood flooded this morning. Please include Mikey and his family in your prayers.
Oh, I love to see the ferries moving through the sunsets! Really beautiful shots, Deb! And I love the idea of the sun as a skipping-stone, too! Such beautiful colors! Fabulous!
Have a great weekend!

Those are beautiful - I love the reflection of the sun on the water!
the long golden reflection of the sun on the water is so beautiful
Awesome photos. the light is gorgeous as is the scenery.
Yep, these are good, too. You must have really had a good photo shot that day. Is there always traffic on the water, and do they use horns or any other kind of signals when ships pass?
Deborah, these are so beautiful!
Your sunset photos lately have been outstanding. Beauty in color moment.
Beautiful Sunset colors...great shots.

Great shots!
Thanks for these wonderfully summery colors in your autumn sky. I sure do like the way the sun is skipping across the lake.
Absolutely BEAUTIFUL sunset views ;-)

Dreamy!
Absolutely golden. It looks rich!!
Deborah, these are beautiful captures and such lovely colours. Where does the ferry dock? I know years ago they tried to get a ferry going between Port Stanley and the other side but I never knew there was another one.
Thanks for sharing and smiles

Oh how the light does play in your backyard! Gorgeous!
