Built for the 2018 BricksLA LEGO convention, this model represents a typical parade float from the Tournament of Roses Parade held annually in Pasadena, California on New Years Day. While similar to several floats from past parades, this is solely from my imagination! It took about a week to build and also had a large marching band on a brick built road. At next years BricksLA, it will have additional parade elements added to the display.
Smile on Saturday -- Ice cream
When I was a kid, an ice cream and Orange Crush float was one of my favourite ways to consume ice cream. So when the theme was announced, a float was my first thought. It turned out to be a bit more challenging than I thought it would be.
I set up my shot, lighting, tripod etc minus the ice cream, using just a glass with Orange Crush in it. So far so good. I had the glass only about 2/3 full to allow room for the ice cream as I planned to make the float without moving the glass. Though I'd left room, I had not figured in how much the carbonated beverage would foam up when the ice cream was added. It flowed down the outside of the glass and submerged the ice cream. So I had to eat that one and go back to the drawing board.
The lengths I go to for my art! Tonight I am going to try my third float of the day. It will be an adult float as it will feature a splash of blood-orange gin in it. :-)
Disclaimer: No butterflies were harmed in the making of this float.

from a bridal earlier today . . . I can't do one without having at least one concept shot!

The weather is hot but the water is cool, so grab a float and jump into the pool!

Glass floats are hollow glass shapes that fishermen used to attach to their nets or lines to hold the sides of the net or the mouth of a trawl net up toward the surface of the water. They aren't really used anymore by fishermen, but many of them are still afloat in the world's oceans, primarily the Pacific, and have have become a popular collectors' item for beachcombers and decorators. Like me.

The floats this homeowner has painstakingly assembled here into folk art (his opinion) or an eyesore (his neighbors') were originally used to mark the location of crab pots. I wonder whether he found them on the beach or whether he bought them from fishermen.
I think it's the latter, because in the 16 months we've been here I have found a total of one intact float on the beach and three or four fragments large enough to merit inclusion in the beach combing collection. At that rate this would represent several decades' worth of collecting.
The vessel in the center of the photo is a Columbia River gillnetter. In my opinion, it's the most graceful class of boat ever to ply the waters of the mighty Columbia since the arrival of Europeans.
Forty years ago it was common to see them along the highway where they were used as garden ornaments. Not so today.

This look was inspired by these cute floats on my sissy, Mias land where her store wonder~ful things is. maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Lamashtu/58/68/32

I encountered these floats from a purse seine net outside the sheds at Fishermen's Terminal in Seattle, WA, and found the colorful and orderly jumble compelling
At the Little Colorado River in the Grand Canyon, if the stream is clear and your river captain is in a good mood, he can take you up the canyon for a traditional float train. With life vests on, everyone grabs the feet of the one behind and the train floats downriver through a small "rapids" for a ton of fun and laughs. This was from a Grand Canyon rafting adventure in June 2008 while the group was preparing for a dunk and a big splash ahead.
The light blue color comes from sunlight reflecting off travertine deposits on the river bottom. Looks like a big swimming pool, doesn't it? When the Little Colorado floods, it brings silt down from its headwaters, turning the river brown from here down the rest of Grand Canyon all the way to Lake Mead.
My AB FAV for today…

Always photographically interesting stuff on the quayside, floats and nets...
No matter which country you are in, strangely familiar!
Small floats were usually made of cork, but fishermen in places where cork was not available used other materials, like birch bark in Finland and Russia, as well as the pneumatophores of Sonneratia caseolaris in Southeast Asia. These materials have now largely been replaced by plastic foam.
Glass floats were large glass balls for long oceanic nets, now substituted by hard plastic. They are used not only to keep fishing nets afloat, but also for dropline and longline fishing. Often larger floats have marker flags for easier spotting.
These looked to me like the sweets on a bracelet or necklace, when I was young??? LOL
Thanx for all your words, time, comments and likes. Very much appreciated. M, (*_*)

Long exposure shot at a beautiful spot in the Albufera, a freshwater lagoon and estuary on the Gulf of Valencia coast of the Valencian Community in eastern Spain. It is the main portion of the "Albufera Natural Park", with a surface area of 52,200 acres. The natural biodiversity of the nature reserve allows a great variety of fauna and flora to thrive and be observed year-round. While once a saltwater lagoon, dilution due to irrigation and canals draining into the estuary and the sand bars increasing in size had converted it to freshwater by the seventeenth century.

It reminds me of old woodcuts.
