A refuge from the world, the White Oak

Today was another great day on the coast.  It has been a busy fall and the weather has been very cooperative.

I had enough chasing fish yesterday so I stayed home to work.  We got lots done.  I even did some painting to get the house in shape for some visitors next week.

I also got some writing done.  I did a post for the Crystal Coast Living blog that I write.

About 4:30 PM, I told my wife that we needed to grab a few minutes outside enjoying the weather instead of working.

She agreed, and we hopped in our skiff, dropped it into the water and began a leisurely cruise to watch the sun disappear into the horizon.

On the way back, I turned around and snapped this picture.  I think it was the best of all the ones I took.  It certainly caught the spirit of the moment.
