THE EVENING DRIVE















Above you can see why we love this lake. It is surrounded by the beautiful Black Hills and the sun sets are always spectacular, even with a few clouds in the sky. This lake is still very low and almost impossible to dock our boat. We were hoping with the winter snows in the hills and the spring rains that it had came up a bit more. It is still early spring so it could still happen.

Just to the East of the lake, across the dam is a big Osprey nest between two electric poles. We have seen this nest for years now and often see the Osprey and her young. Maybe later this summer, if we see them and if I just happen to have my camera with, I can share some pictures of this graceful big bird.

Tonight after supper my husband and I took our new- to- us camper van for a drive to one of our favorite lakes. Our dog Baxter also wanted to go for a ride. He isn't so sure about this old monstrosity, but once in it, he seemed to enjoy it as much as we did.
