just right, its gauzy blue
and soft mauve, how
it reflects upon the sea
between the boardwalk
and breakwater, shoal
farther out, sun going
down, a few gulls
prospecting the beach
along the jetty, some
wisenheimer in a blue
souped-up Chevy in
the parking lot, his
music cranked up,
a primal distress cry,
one might think, but
as the girl glides past
on her paddleboard
she seems oblivious
to all but the small wake
she cuts through the blue,
deeper than the sky
which glows with last
light, her rhythmic stroke:
reach and pull, stroke
and glide, almost sensual
as the waves break
and purl against the reef:
the scene could be
a painting if you were
not so mesmerized,
had brush, paint and
canvas and knew how.

"On the Move" for Smile on Saturday. This dog seems a natural at balancing on a paddle board.

Not a scene that would have been seen ten years ago. Given that many of these boards are inflatable they can be carried just about everywhere.
Another day at Ocean Reef Marina. I saw this lone paddleboarder in the Marina. Its an attractive place to paddleboard as its safe and out of the wind. I really liked the contrast between the small figure on the paddleboard and the boardwalk covered in sleeping seagulls. It highlights how peaceful the day was. The flying bird really added to the image.
You know what would have been really impressive? If I was doing yoga down there on paddleboard with all those ladies WHILE flying the quadcopter to get this shot. Can you imagine? Well… that's a recipe for disaster I'm sure… I almost fell over while standing over on the nearby beach!

Hey, long time no 'sea' everyone! I've been in school, so I haven't had much time for photography. Since it's a semester break I finally had a chance to shoot a little.
You know how difficult it is to shoot in the snow when you wear glasses, and then also try and keep the camera safe from the elements at the same time while trying to focus on your subject that's moving! Although, this pic is a bit soft, I thought it added to the painterly/ moody feel, so I thought it worked out in the end.
Here's a paddleboarder riding the waves in a snow storm on the coast of Maine.

While standup paddleboarding has its foundations in surfing, as it uses a paddle to propel the board it is technically a paddlesport. There are many types of SUP paddling including surfing, touring, racing, fitness paddling, and SUP Yoga and whitewater standup paddleboarding. SUP is the latest craze in watersports.
