The star is not easy to see in this painting, but it is there... can you find it?

This is one of my favourite times of day. I love dusk. Especially at the lake. I love the silhouettes that take shape against the twilight sky. I love when the twinkle of the stars appear. I love the calm that settles in after an active day. 

The two evenings I spent at the yurt were absolutely magical. Flora Bora Forest Lodging sat on the edge of Tuddles Lake and this is the scene I encountered when I returned after a drive on the old road to Waskesiu on the first day.

"Star light, Star bright, the first star I see tonight..."
