Tangled Oar

I went camera crusading at a nearby conservation area in hopes of getting some nice watery landscape images for the weekly photo challenge, but the weather was not being cooperative. It was quite windy causing choppy lakes and the trees & plants were swaying considerably more for what type of photos I wanted to capture. Ugh!

 

Not to be discourage I quickly changed plans from expansive landscapes to not quite so expansive environmental-ish still life-ish images. Luckily for me a string of boats were tied up with nothing to do except to sit pretty while I fire off a few frames.

 

Now, was this how I envisioned my photo day? Eh, not really. But you know what they say...when life gives you lemons take pictures of flooded john boats with weed-wrapped wooden oars. It's true! I've heard that!
