A pale blue gray sky with clouds tinted peach by the setting sun. Standing beside a lake. The near shore has a blanket of low green ground cover sprinkled with tiny bright wildflowers and a few large boulders. A low wooded ridge rises above the far shore. All land features are partially silhouetted in the fading light. A good fresh breeze is rippling the lake surface with small waves. A dozen geese are standing along the shore or swimming nearby. One is flapping its wings aggressively, apparently warning me to stay away.
