The Sunset at Lake Florida 2-12-12

Sunday was another busy day. It was our day to work in the church office/welcome center so left home at 7:15 a.m. It was 6 degrees below zero!  The youth of Calvary Lutheran Church had a brunch to raise funds for their youth gathering this summer. After church we were off to our obligatory stop […]

2-10-Sunset at PWELC

Friday we set out for our sunset picture at Prairie Woods Environmental Learning Center which is right next door to the resort. We went to the Westby Observatory Building hoping for the best view. There weren’t any clouds, but the sun was pretty. Sunset at 5:36 with stone fireplace

2-9-12 The Lake Florida sunset

The plan for today is to go to the top of our neighbor’s (Al & Lilas’s) hill and get shots of the sunset. Some of you have been there many years ago. I have lived here for 30 years and have never been to the top of the hill! Just to be safe, we started […]

The sunset at Lake Florida February 6, 2012

At 5:15 when I looked out the window the sun was so bright I couldn’t look at it. Bob came home with a pizza which distracted me and I almost ended up missing the sunset! The sunset was beautiful and did you notice, it’s 5:30 when it sets rather than 4:30! Spring is just around […]

The Ice & the Beach at Lake Florida

It’s been an interesting winter in the ice department. While most lakes have had very thin, bad ice Lake Florida has had good ice the entire winter for the fishermen and ice skaters. It has been a different story for the resort owners! The ice has been pushing and moving the sand up towards the […]

Fishermen in Sunset 2-2-12

What a difference a day makes when it comes to a sunset. We got these pictures right before the fog started setting in – Fog in February? Isn’t it strange! A high of 47 degrees today – did I say it’s February in Minnesota?! One minute later the color had changed to this:

The sunset on 2-1-12 in Willmar

We had to leave the resort at 4:00 to do some errands and by at church by 5:30 to help with confirmation. Of course tat meant we wouldn’t be able to get our usual sunset picture from the resort. We took the camera along and hoped we would be somewhere with the sunset visible at […]

Sunset on 1-28-12 at Dickerson’s Lake Florida Resort

We’ve had way too many days with the clouds covering the sun as it was going down. On the 28th we finally got the chance to snap a couple of pictures. I waited as the sun came down and out from under the clouds hoping the clouds wouldn’t close in! 6 minutes later the sun […]

Sunday Sunset at Dickerson’s Resort

What a beautiful day we had again today! The wind was a little raw this morning, but even that got better as the temperature climbed. In the afternoon Bob’s cousin’s son and his 2 little boys came out to ice fish. I think the little boys had a better time going to visit great great […]
