Orange Water, Orange Sky

Three of Desiree’s Filipina friends pitched a tent down at the lakeshore and spent the night there.  Early in the evening, several other Filipinas gathered with us for a lakeshore dinner.

The local Filipinas are the among sweetest and most fun-loving people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting.  They are, at the same time, hardworking and have readily become Montanans to the core.  They all enjoy hiking, fishing, camping, berry gathering, and just about any other activity that makes Montana living unique and beautiful.  Most of the girls have even adopted a mostly favorable view of winter.

Last night, following an after-the-rain cruise on my pontoon boat, we were visited by a stunning sunset that provided us with both orange sky and orange water.  That called for a gathering at the dock and a series of photographs.
