Cloudy Sunset

Delta Lake State Park

What a glorious evening! Last night the temperature, the wind, the approaching clouds and the sunset all combined to create a wonderful time at Delta Lake State Park. I knew driving home that I would be jumping right back out after dinner. It is still very early in the season so I practically had the park to myself. I brought home quite a collection of images from my short exploration. This wide-angle view of the lake is about 15 minutes before the actual sunset.

Deserted Beach

Delta Lake State Park

Yet another one from my excursion to Delta Lake State Park. Views like this just can’t happen during the summer unless you are in a boat! I suppose after the last few days there is no ice left on the lake. Temps are suppose to return to normal by Monday.

New Rock Beach

Wow! Have I really been missing since December 5th. The end of this year has been crazy busy. Not only at work but so many things going on once I get out of work. Losing my daylight early and the chilling temperatures did not help my motivation either. I do have some holiday time coming up and I am really looking forward to the days off.

I ended up stuck at work on Saturday for a few more hours than I planned and then a few appointments later it was 1pm. At least the sun was out and the wind was next to nothing. I also wanted to try out a new lighter coat I picked up to have less bulk as I stumble around in the snow with my camera (the coat was a success!). I made a quick excursion to Delta Lake State Park to see what I could find.

I really liked how the snow ridges in the rocks were following the new shoreline. The lake always drops down during the winter and reveals generally hidden areas during the summer. It definitely allows for longer walks around the shore. I’m sure I’ll be heading back here over the next few weeks.
