The Niijima Floats by Dale Chihuly

Chihuly's Niijima Floats were inspired by a trip with his glasblowing team to the glass school on the island of Niijima, Japan, in the Bay of Tokyo.

The trip rekindled memories of childhood walks along the beaches of Puget Sound where he collected Japanese floats and their fragments that had washed ashore.

This is image has just won 1st place in the 2015 Sony World Photography Awards National Award! It was the best single image from Finland entered into the Open categories of the 2015 SWPA.

It looks like this muskrat is floating in an unreal world with the marsh reflections all around. This photo shows one of the ways to tell a muskrat from a beaver - the round, scaly tail. Beavers are well known for their flat tails. It was fun watching the muskrat watch me. He floated quietly for a couple of minutes, then dived and was gone.

Swans on the Thames, near Cookham.

With the exterior decorated in First Nation art. At Steveston pier, Richmond BC.

This plant is an aquatic perennial and under favourable circumstances its seeds may remain viable for many years, with the oldest recorded lotus germination being from seeds 1,300 years old recovered from a dry lakebed in China. The roots of the lotus plant are in the soil of the pond or river bottom, while its leaves float on the top of the water surface or are held well above it. The flowers are usually found on thick stems rising several centimetres above the leaves. Researchers reported that the lotus has the remarkable ability to regulate the temperature of its flowers to within a narrow range and it is suspected that the flowers may be doing this to attract cold blooded insects.

I can't help but think back to the 70s and The Floaters song 'Float On'.

An interesting aquatic creature to observe - by utilising the hairs on their legs that repel water and capture air, the tiny water striders appear to stand on the water's surface... the captured air allows them to float and move easily.

And how fast they zip about at times.

Some kelp washed up on the beach on Morro Strand State Beach in California.

Kelp (brown algae seaweed) possess gas-filled floats known as pneumatocysts that enable fronds to float on the water surface, maximizing exposure to sunlight and enhancing photosynthesis. The gas content of the pneumatocysts can vary, but are usually filled with a combination of oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide. Depending on the species, the kelp may contain one large pneumatocyst or several smaller pneumatocysts distributed throughout the kelp.

As a child, I have always had a fascination with airplanes. Perhaps it was because my mother worked at the airport and I spent a lot of time there watching them take off and land while waiting for her to get off of work. I don't know what it is about them, but I find them a beautiful piece of machinery that can take us on fascinating adventures.

I remember how excited I was the first time I visited Yellowknife 20 years ago and got a chance to see float planes up close and personal. It wasn't until this year in Fort Simpson that I got a chance to fly in one.

This image from Yellowknife this summer is one of my favorites. Come aboard and take me to a different land!
