Back in early January, my family and I visited Elkhorn Slough Reserve on a late Sunday afternoon. My daughter Red (aka Heidi) and I took a relatively short trail around the Reserve knowing it was close to closing time. This old "barn" looks like it had been used for storing grain. But it also shows that before this land became Elkhorn Slough Reserve it used to be private farmland.
As we got near the end of the trail the sun was setting, and as we looked westward we could see the PG&E stacks across the way in Moss Landing. At first we weren't sure it was going to be much of a sunset. But Mother Nature proved us wrong.
Below you can see in the far distance many birds flying around, probably getting ready to find a roost for the night.
All is quiet now, and we needed to hurry out of the Reserve, because it was past closing time.

I still feel bad for making that guy wait for us, even if we weren't the very last to leave the reserve!
Thank you, everyone for all your lovely comments.

Red - I felt bad, too, but I think they are used to it. I'm sure they don't want to discourage anyone from revisiting.
Beautiful golden series! I love the second picture!
Hola Mary!

vincibene - thank you for stopping by and commenting. Yes, I think the second photo is probably my favorite, too.
Oh, Mel - I do hope you get to see some beautiful sunsets, too. But, for now, your days are getting shorter instead of longer like ours - right?
Thanks, monarch! Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
