At the end of the day, after all the beach- dwelling people have wandered off, sunburnt and tired,
the ducks reclaim their rightful place
and the geese return.
The lake becomes itself once more.

Recharging, as it were, for the next day. 🙂 ❤
Yes! Completely! Recharging is a good thing … 🙂
Wish I was there now! Beautiful photos, Lynette. Thanks!
Thank you! 🙂
Me too! I really hated to leave this time.
The time I prefer the beach is when the ducks and geese return. The quiet of this time is relaxing.
It very much is so! 🙂 we hung about for quite a long time watching the geese and ducks. You can see that the sun had gone down. 🙂
Now they don’t have to duck.
Hahaha. For sure. 🙂
There is some sadness about an empty lake as summer nears its end. Here, we just want some sun and less wind. Today, perhaps. Happy Thursday, Lynette. Allan
Thank you so much, Allan. Northern Alberta didn’t get a great summer.
Yes, there is something sad about an empty lake at summer’s end – the fun is over for another season.
Poetic post, and now it’s time for a bonfire night at Skaha
Thank you. 🙂
I love a fire on the beach! We meant to do one before returning north but ran out of time. Next summer for sure. 🙂
Lovely photos and words. And you are once again invigorating my need to dwell near water. I want to remain on that beach at the end of the sunburnt day, slipping quietly into my little cottage and dreaming blog-story dreams…
Thank you very much. 🙂
I am happy to stoke your wishes. 🙂 Sometimes we get reminders of these wishes floating past us; we’re ready to notice them then. Our home is across the park from this beach. Not a cottage but somewhat close. 🙂
“Be kind to your flat-footed friends, for the duck may be somebody’s mother!” I have no idea why they are called fowl, I’ve always loved these particular birds.
Great quote. 🙂 I like them as well. So much fun to watch them (and so great to have the time to do so). 🙂
Oh so true. Great piece and I just love the photography that accompanies the words. The beach is glorious but we borrow from nature what is hers. I like the silence of the pictures. Thank you. Love Joni
Thank you very much. 🙂 You are very welcome.
It is a very lovely beach and we are fortunate enough to live across a park from it.
Yes, it’s important to remember that we are just borrowing.
Tourists are like the tide… they surge in & out, and “real life” surges also in a complementary dance, out & in …
I love your comment. 🙂 Life is very much an ebb and flow.
