Lake Livingston

 

I made a quick trip to Trinity yesterday to take a photo for a Comparative Market Analysis. As the sun began to set, I found myself just about to cross over the White Rock Creek bridge on FM 356 and the sun was reflecting beautifully on the lake. I decided to go to the closest boat ramp and see if I could get a shot! Tada! The sunset at Hillwood Acres Subdivision on Lake Livingston. There was a community fishing pier there as well.

 

If I lived here this is where I would be every night. I’d hop in my golf cart, grab a glass of iced tea and head over to watch the sun set with my honey! Aaaah..... Heaven DOES seem a little closer when you’re sitting beside the water!

Kim: I know! We live on the river but have to stay with mom since her strokes. I miss my view, but I love my MOM! :O)

JoAnn: Me too. I try to capture as many as I can in photos. I don't know why. I guess I keep looking for a better one. They are ALL great!

Hi Joni,

That's a beautiful song in your #12 comment...  and you do shine for Him, Joni!!!

Sorry I didn't get a chance to post these past few days especially to the Marvelous Monday group... I have been so busy I haven't had time.  There are a lot of homes going on the Market right now.  I will try to get to it in a couple of days.  As you said, it's good to post to the group no matter what day of the week it is!!

Well you live in a place called Riverside, so aren’t you by the side of the river? Rivers have water in them. Not just lakes! J♪♫♫♪
