These boaters sure know where to spend a wonderful summer evening.
Early sunset on Glacier Park's McDonald Lake. A couple other shots from this blissful evening in comments.
Your visits are always appreciated.
Have a wonderful Friday and weekend!
I took this on the same day as my image "Transcendental." I was so happy to see rowers and a motor boat go by, to create these wonderful warped reflections and ripples. I had a hard time deciding whether to post the colour or the black and white, but as the colour is mostly shades of brown, b/w won this round.
This was taken before the major flooding we just had.

Pitt River
British Columbia
Canada
Pitt Lake is the second largest of a series of north-south oriented fjord-lakes incising the southern slopes of the Pacific Ranges, the largest being Harrison Lake located 60 km to the east. The other fjord-lakes include Coquitlam Lake, Alouette Lake, Stave Lake, and Chehalis Lake.
The Pitt River drains into the northern end of Pitt Lake. The western shore of Pitt Lake are protected within Pinecone Burke Provincial Park, while most of the eastern shore are protected within Golden Ears Provincial Park. The southern end of Pitt Lake features an extensive marshland called Pitt Polder. While most of this marshland has since been drained for agricultural use, the northernmost portion is strictly protected in order to provide critical habitat for migratory birds.
Communities
The community of Pitt Meadows and the First Nations reserve of Pitt Lake Indian Reserve 5 are located at the southern end of the lake. Just southwest of the lake is the community of Port Coquitlam, which is across the Pitt River from Pitt Meadows. At the north end of the lake is a locality named Alvin, which is a transport and shipping point for logging companies and their employees.

Neither the smallest nor the most inconsequential element to the image, this red boat had me following its path. Meandering about, a father and his two boys enjoy time out on Trout Lake. When they began to slowly travel toward the north end, I quickly beetled toward this sunken log.
Like arrows in my quiver, none of the previous shots of this scene, ever made it to post. However, this one combines the multiple components needed, so the log is a supporting element, framing the boater and anchoring the Fall colored trees.

View of the Bow Bridge and boaters on a The Lake on a warm fall day in Central Park, Manhattan. The cast iron bridge was designed by Calvert Vaux and Jacob Wrey Mould and was completed in 1862.

A boater on a morning cruise passes by the campsite of some kayakers during the morning. My memory card filled right after taking this photograph, reminding me of the film days when you had to be more mindful of how may frames remained available and careful you had to be with selecting what you would photograph.

A spectacular park. One of four that, in 1978, made up the first cohort of UNESCO natural World Heritage Sites (along with Ecuador's Galapagos I., Yellowstone NP in the U.S. and Simien Mtns NP in Ethiopia).
Le centre monégasque de soins des espèces marines (CMSEM) a ouvert au musée océanographique de Monaco le 27 avril 2019. Il est accessible au public.
Cinq bassins sont en place pour accueillir des tortues blessées. Une centaine seraient repêchées en détresse chaque année en Méditerranée.
Les tortues blessées sont facilement reconnaissables : elles flottent et ne peuvent pas plonger en raison de troubles de digestion liés à l'ingestion de bouts de plastique.
Le nouveau centre monégasque propose aux plaisanciers et aux pêcheurs de les ramasser et de les alerter afin de les prendre en charge. Une fois soignées, les tortues sont relâchées en mer.
On rencontre en Méditerranée plusieurs centaines d'espèces de tortues marines. Elles peuvent atteindre 400 kg et 130 cm et évoluent à une quarantaine de kilomètres au large du littoral azuréen.
The Monegasque Center for the Care of Marine Species (CMSEM) opened at the Monaco Oceanographic Museum on April 27, 2019. It is open to the public.
Five pools are in place to accommodate injured turtles. A hundred would be recovered in distress each year in the Mediterranean.
Injured turtles are easily recognizable: they float and can not dive because of digestive disorders related to ingestion of plastic tips.
The new Monegasque center offers boaters and fishermen to pick them up and alert them to take care of them. Once treated, turtles are released at sea.
In the Mediterranean there are several hundred species of sea turtles. They can reach 400 kg and 130 cm and evolve about forty kilometers off the azure coast.

The boater awaits the arrival of a young yangban (nobleman) and his lady friend. A dalliance, a journey ensues within golden hues of an Autumn late afternoon. Dragons fly high in azure skies.

“Fall has always been my favorite season. The time when everything bursts with its last beauty, as if nature had been saving up all year for the grand finale.”

Autumn passions upward soar.
Path's cross, water's edge.
Lake Constance is a popular terrain for recreational boaters of its three littoral states. In late fall, most boats are already ashore.
Boaters' desire : )
This, and the other two trumpet shots were taken with an Olympus camera, not the Canon 5D MkII as indicated.
A lone boater races across one of the arms of the Shuswap Lake. His wake indicates his direction and on this calm day, only he and a slight breeze disturb the water.
This boater appeared to be racing against the dark, likely heading for his summer home on the Pitt Lake.

So my boater wife didn't like the previous post as all she could see was that damn seaweed that fouls up propellers......
I want my walls painted in this colour........
Boaters don't like it when birds poop on there boats, so they will install a fake Owl to scare off the birds. Take a look under the Owl, what do you see?
What's interesting about this Owl, it is mechanical. It's head turns 360 degrees, so that it looks and acts like a real one.
Came down in hopes of catching a sunrise, caught some reflections and boaters pausing before heading back down river; Sellwood Bridge, Powers Marine Park, Portland, OR NB54439
Not everyone gets to have dinner on a catamaran, but this past Easter, I did! My friends, Sarah and George, had me aboard a friend's boat for the holiday. The friends were out of town, and let them use it for the holiday. I've had several dinners on board another boat at the marina in the past, too, and it's always a treat.
The light and view was especially lovely that day. I can see why so many people choose to live on boats year round. It's another way of life- a no nonsense, clutter free style that only permits necessities, but the perks are being able to move your home any time you want, and having lovely views all the time. Boaters tend to be really nice folks who look out for each other, too. I'm too much of a pack rat to consider living on one, but I sure do enjoy spending time with friends on one now and then!
