viewing calm waters in early December as i sat lazily on the beach

Abersoch, Llyn Peninsula

Its when you find just the right place and just the right partner. You go at just the right time and use just the right bait... Your fishing hole becomes one that you never want to leave.

 

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.

A special thanks to all my Flickr friends and visitors, for taking the time to view and acknowledge my photography.

While framing the trees on a foggy morning I got lucky that this pair of paddle boarders came by.

A setting looking to the south-southwest while taking in views along the shores of Cameron Lake. This is in Waterton Lakes National Park but the setting with the peaks and ridges are in the US in Glacier National Park. What drew me into the setting was the mountains with the reflections on the lake waters as well as the two people who were doing stand-up paddle boarding.

Arnside, Cumbria, sits at the northeastern corner of Morecambe Bay. Here, the sands are exposed temporarily near low tide, with the shallow channel of the River Kent estuary the only water.

 

A man and his son are on a paddle board, letting the current do the work. Liminal - calm and peaceful before the tide turns.

 

World Photography Day 2024 entrant,

 

Sure sign of spring. The paddlers are out. Don't fall in - water temperature 3 degrees C not balmy nor is outside temperature of minus 3 degrees C.

The fish bite the best at night. I have photographed these 2 a few times now. The bond they have is amazing. Maybe we need a lot more fishing in the world today.

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

These two were enjoying the calm sea at Lepe at the end of a warm day.

 

Thank you all for your kind responses.

Relishing the tranquility and solitude of the sea all to himself.

West Bay, September 2021

 

Yes someone is out shirtless on lake ontario in december...

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!

Peace Valley Park, Doylestown Pa.

A great activity on what turned out to be one of the warmest days of the year.

Why not yoga while enjoying the waters around Kitsilano Beach ... on a paddle board.

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.
