It's almost mean to put this picture up on a Monday morning when most of us are beginning another work week isn't it? Aaah, but let us dream anyway. - Fern

Boat 2

You'd think Benjamin and I had planned this but really, it's lovely bit of coincidence that I had a boat picture lined up for today. - Fern

Boat

I've been thinking about why I like this photo and also why I derived such pleasure out of the Wood Ducks I've been posting photos of the last few days. I think it's an effect of seasonal affective disorder. Around this time of year, especially after a succession of short gloomy gray days, anything that bears the bold brilliant colors of warmer seasons is refreshing to the eyes and to the mind. The Wood Ducks and this small boat have this in common and remind me that we are now on the downhill slope towards spring. This little boat was moored yesterday below the Selkirk Trestle in Vic West and I thank its owner for these rich colors.

Summer Day II

What better way to spend a summer day?
