Finding My Favorite Place
Last semester, I talked about my hammock in my parents' backyard as my favorite place. Any time I am in my hammock in the trees, I am definitely happy. But, I think in the past 6 months I have discovered a new favorite place.
My boyfriend's parents live in a beautiful house on Lake Eufaula. He and I go there often on the weekends to visit his parents and just get away from everything. Their house overlooks the lake and they have a balcony on each level with a gorgeous view of the water. This side of the house faces west, so each afternoon, we have the best view of the sunsets on the water. My favorite place to watch them is on the little balcony up in the tower. The view is incredible from up there and you feel like it's just you and the lake.
I guess my favorite place is more of a moment. That magical moment when the sun is just above the tree line on the opposite side of the lake. When the sky is on fire with brilliant shades of pink, orange, red, and the beautiful reflection of it all on the water. It's easy to forget about everything else in the world as you watch the sky fade into night. Sunsets in general are beautiful and magical, but there is something about this spot that makes them seem even more amazing.

Wow, Caitlyn, what a gorgeous picture! Sunsets are beautiful anywhere, but reflecting on the lake like that, turning the water those sunset colors: it's fabulous! Surya the sun god would approve I am sure.
