Sunset on the Lakes

Sunset over the lake:


This is the lake behind my house.





This is a neighboring lake.



I'm fortunate enough to live in a really beautiful community. There are lots of gardens, trees and a few community buildings. The best part, though, has to be the lakes. Our house backs onto one, and there are many more just a short walk or drive away.

I was used to living next to a ravine. At my old house, I would look out the window, and see hills of grass. Waking up in my new house was a little frightening at first because I would look outside and somehow manage to think, "Water? Was there a flood?", and it made my move seem like more of a permanent vacation.

There are also ducks and other birds that live on the lakes as well. For the longest time, the lake behind my house didn't have any duck residents but now I think they've moved in and settled. In some of the other lakes, there are fish and turtles, but as of right now, my lake just has the birds!

[still six months left!]
