Seven Bends Skies

The days are so short now. It was almost 4:30 yesterday afternoon when I arrived at Seven Bends State Park with Charlie. I had already dropped off a box of donations at Goodwill, but I'm not sure what else I did to get out of the house so late. I do recall that I checked several items off my list and ordered some groceries.


The water level of the North Fork is fairly low, although we did have some rain the other day.



I took Charlie for a short walk, and then sat on a bench for a few minutes. By 4:45, the sun was already setting.

  2. Nice pictures - love the colours (colors?) in that last picture. But the close up of Charlie made me smile!

  4. I have never ordered groceries. I go to the store and pick them up. Often, I change my mind. If I have apples on the list, for example, and they don’t look as good as I think they should, or are too big, I will switch to another fruit. Perhaps I have cod in mind, but the sole is on sale, looks better and saves money. How would I know all this by ordering and having it delivered?

    1. I ordered canned goods, bottles, sundries, and things that I can’t reach because the stupid store puts them on the top shelf. For meat and produce, I go to local stores.

  5. Loved your sunset series…and Charlie of course. Yesterday I looked up from reading and thought it must be 8:30 or so, only to find it just 5:30 with complete dark outside. It may be a long winter for me this year!

  9. I don't like the early sunsets, too. But there was Charlie, obviously enjoying this sunset. I am not sure I've seen clouds like in the last picture. (And yes, I order groceries from time to time. I don't like to, though, because I'm particular about my produce and some other items.) Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com

  10. Yes, Linda, the days are really getting short, here in Austria too – but this way you and sweet Charly got to enjoy a wonderful sunset that illuminated the trees. A truly beautiful sight!
    Warm regards after my long blogging break! Traude
