Sunset at Chreokee Marsh

Cherokee Marsh is one of my absolute favorite places on this earth. It is sacred ground for me.


Walking the path back to the water, we can see glimpses of the sunset through the trees.


When we get out to the dock, we have the perfect view to watch the sun set.
And watch the fish jump--it's their feeding time.






Back when I lived in Madison, and went out to the Marsh several times a week to watch the sunset, I always had this lantern to light my way back to the parking lot. It's dark after the sun goes down! This little lantern was indispensable. It lit my way on many dark nights.

We are fortunate in Oshkosh to have Menomenee Park with a path that runs along Lake Winnebago, all the way out to a Point on Miller's Bay. One evening as the sun was setting, I captured these scenes. Can you tell I've been watching Art Wolf on PBS?


Here's a little wider shot. One week later, the grass had been cut down. Glad I got the shots when I did!


I love how the dark and light play on the water in this one. The duck could be a silhouette and it would still work. This one might turn into a journal quilt some day ...
