This photo was taken yesterday around 7:30pm from the wharf behind our boathouse on Bayou Lafourche in Valentine, South Louisiana. I was only taking a picture of Sentry and did not realize all that I had captured until I looked at the photo. It was quiet and peaceful last evening; the water was calm, and a gentle breeze was blowing. Sentry is fascinated by the microscopic bugs that skim across the glassy smooth water. Our dog enjoys the lazy evenings spent swaying on the swing mounted underneath the overhang on the wharf as much as my husband and I do (even though she has accidentally toppled off the wharf into the water! Notice the bright red harness she now sports! The better to haul her up next time…and there will be a next time!)
