Afternoon Delight

I caught my friend Roland sailing by yesterday near sunset, he was getting in a last sail before we are assailed with rather breezy conditions for the next few days. I was scheduled to join him but an unexpected freezer melt down prevented that. Roland, like me chooses to come South for the winter to escape the brutally cold winters of Maine.

    Beautiful pics. Clouds always make for more interesting skies at sunset.

    Ah, those prime years! I think I had them too, long time ago though, I believe that was in the Fifties and Sixties just after "the music died".
