The sunset business is a little slow so far this week. Again there were clouds about but for my eyes there was still a spectacular evening sky show. The clouds hung snugly along the horizon so I never actually saw the sun setting, this evening it was doing it's work behind the scenes.
This shot was taken further along the shore to the west of the camp yesterday morning. Patches and I did a short walk down to the site where "Stan's" home of the 10¢ coffee, use to be. Still pretty strange to see an empty lot with no sign that a building was ever there.
7:00 pm: I had just finished Patches' fetching the stick from the lake session.
7:42 pm: between all these photos I've taken a variety of others. It's hard to see the changes while constantly watching the sky so I'd read for a few minutes then look again. The changes each time were significant and I'd spent the next few minutes admiring the new view.
7:44 pm: OK, so I didn't read since the last photo.
7:51 pm: as you may have noticed I've anchored the photos with the tree on the left. As one scans the horizon to the south the show is no less spectacular, just difficult to show and time consuming to set up more pictures.
7:56 pm: final shot of the evening, the darkness final sets in. As I was watching the sky show I wonder that with all the camps along the shore that curves to the east of me am I the only one out here watching what to me is an incredible sight. It's quite quiet during this time, no boats out on the water and no sounds of activity from the various camps. The view must become routine to those who are on the lake frequently. Would I stop enjoying this evening view if I spent the entire summer here? Maybe spending only a week here that a little is enough.
Cujo (Patches) and I will be out here again tomorrow night.

Can you make Patch look any more bloodthirsty please?
I think there's plenty of the "cute" Patches in this series.
