Pink Ladies
The smooth lake looks perfect for gliding on with gentle dipping of oars. I'm into the groove of relaxation now ... the cares of the city and work a past imagining.
But the restless sea is also close by ... we'll go see the action tomorrow.
Emile, it is funny that you should say that. The title of this post was in some ways a salute to Jessica Watson who sailed solo around the world when only 16 years old ... her yacht was pink and named Pink Lady.
This is my new year's resolution! (not really a resolution - but I'm going with it) For 4 years now I've been dreaming of owning a canoe/surfski and taking myself off a'paddlin'. (vince would like a jet-ski - so we can go together - not quite sure how that is going to work). I've never seen pink ones before. Wait til I show Vince!
Tumbleweed It was August (known to be a windy month of the year) and it was blowing a gale. Tumbleweeds hurtled across our path, pressed forward by the busy wind. While I was photographing the tumbleweed, I braved the icy blast to find a few more tiny flowers and fruits by the roadside.
The Pinnacles, Broken Hill Clear blue sky is very dull! But there is something of interest in the image. These odd shaped mountains appear on the skyline just outside the city. I had planned otherwise for my closing sky today. On a hill outside town there are wonderful sandstone sculptures which I saw the last time I was here. I planned to photograph them against the setting sun but we left our run too late, so you don’t get to see them until our return journey.
Love this composition.The canoes are lovely, and their colours a joy. But the stillness of the pier and its reflection MAKE this image.

ReplyDeleteUh, I don't know if I would be comfortable in a pink boat:):)
