Hello Joey:
This is such a wonderful sentiment to complement your most attractive and very appealing photograph of the lake as seen with a January sun setting over the water.

Your beautiful Hubbard Lake photo lightens my heart today Joeyluv. We took Last-Born back to uni yesterday and the house feels so quiet and empty without her :-(

A beautiful reminder to stay in the moment. I still sometimes struggle with that concept.

I never, ever tire of Hubbard Lake photos.

Sunsets are always best at a beloved spot, like your Hubbard Lake, and my hometown of St. Joseph. But I only see mine about once a year, so sad!

Simply breathtaking, querida amiga.

If I were Superwoman, I'd fly over to this tranquil hideaway, and hang around a while.
Unfortunately, my super cape is in the wash.
