Tonight as the sun began to set, we saw a plane circling above our lake. I called to Hubby and we stood in our front window and watched as it landed on the lake. (It was an amphibious plane.) I expected it to turn around during it’s taxi and take right back off, but it taxied to our little beach.
Because I worry, it’s a lifelong problem, I thought perhaps they’d had engine trouble, so Hubby and I went down to take a look. I grabbed my little camera to document the event. After all, in the 10 years we have been here, this sort of activity hadn’t occurred.
What we found was that the pilot was dropping off someone and once they were out, they turned the plane and he took off again. Luckily, I got it all on my camera.
It was so pretty to watch the plane as it took off into the sunset. It brought out the kid in me and I felt as though I were watching some great mysterious event!
Afterward, Hubby and I walked home and enjoyed the setting sun even more. It was just such a lovely, lovely, summer night.
What a night it was here too, and a beautiful deep yellow/red full moon. We had a meeting at the Nature Center at Croton Point, and I almost hated to leave for home afterward.
LOVELY, just lovely! Love YOU, Mel
Sounds very nice!
Love you lots,
Mandy
That is amazing…you live on a pretty lake and have folks nearby who have friends drop in via an amphibious plane. That would be the perfect end to a perfect day. 🙂
Wow that’s a very special taxi ! I will take that when I visit you, lol ! you can fish me out of the water then.
I love it when something totally unexpected like that happens! So glad you were able to catch it (and share it!) with your camera!
🙂 Neat video!!
