This Is Where I Live

I was out walking with Calvin and the sun was setting and it wasn't anything overly dramatic or anything, it was just simple and beautiful.
I haven't been down to the lake much recently, so I made sure to sit down and just absorb how lovely it was. The waves were lapping gently on the shore. Calvin was racing around smelling stuff and peeing on things. The coots were making weird noises at each other. A young couple were canoodling on a bench. A few boats puttered by. Ordinary and extraordinary at the same time.

If you'd like to hear what coots sound like, go here to the Cornell page and have a listen. They're really quite interesting. There are lots of them here at Lake Atitlan. They're out there on the water in the picture enjoying the sunset too. 😊
