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.

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 These materials have now largely been replaced by plastic foam.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.
We LOVED seeing this house float, with the turning paddlewheel!

A papercut, handpainted in my favorite shade of blue.
It reminds me of old woodcuts.

********************************
to get where im going , i need to know where to go.
i dont know when or how to start, its something i dont know.
for blind man to see would be a miracle, but why would he want to see what were doing with the planet, with society.
in my eyes if they have an image of the world in there head, its more beautiful in there.
you could fall in love over personality rather then looks, being who you are, is beautiful.
dont regret anything that you made you smile, if it made you happy, then why throw it all away?
if you want to do something, you should go out and do it. if you believe you can fly, then friggen go for it. find a way for you to fly. things can be hard, but nothing can be impossible. someday everyone will be happy. everyone will have completed there dream, wether its on this planet or the land after.
dont jump if your afraid of the fall,
you wont know what to expect, you may hit the ground.
just keep an open mind , listen to the sounds.
and remember, what goes up.. must come down.

It caught my eye because it looked suspended in mid-air ... and also because it's pink and I love a sweet pink and green colour combo.
Bad news comes, don't you worry even when it lands.
Good news will work its way to all them plans.
We both got fired on exactly the same day.
Well we'll float on, good news is on the way.
And we'll all float on OK. And we'll all float on OK.
And we'll all float on OK. And we'll all float on.
Alright already, we'll all float on.
No don't you worry. We'll all float on.
Alright, already. We'll all float on.
Alright, don't worry. We'll all float on.

Freshmen year is coming to a close and it's been a helluva year. At times, it felt like everything bad that could happen, did happen (Damn you Murphy). But no matter how dark it got, I just kept pushing towards the light and I've managed to Float On.
