Enjoy my photo - hope you love it - this one can be deleted - I will submit the sunset instead. I see now only one per person.

Discount this one please.

Please enjoy this sun set. I know I did.

Thanks, TomT. It was one of those surreal mornings when there are so many incredible places to be at one time. If you look closely, there's a distant canoe to the right of the island -- 7MonthMan was paddling and taking photos too.
