…you know, the easy stuff like a closet, floors, a shelf unit, sorting paperwork.
Bored with that, I decided to take a walk to the lake shore.
Silly girl!
Though the sun had popped out a bit earlier, the biting wind was straight off the lake, blowing about 12 mph, and the waves were roaring!
I made my way to a red canoe which was somewhat out of the wind, thinking,
“Someone’s a bit early preparing to get out on the water, aren’t they?”
It looked so pretty against a bluish sky, so I walked on over.
Much to my surprise, it looked like this:
Quite full of water!
REALLY quite full of water!
Well, at least it doesn’t leak!
What a terrific shade of red ! B.
Really great color, isn’t it, Babs? Can’t wait to catch it out on the lake on a very sunny day, when the water looks kind of ‘light steel blue’!
You’re lucky.. Your house is located near to lake shore. Beautiful pics.
Thank you, and it is a beautiful place to live, Googsy. In the summertime, though, the storms can be very dangerous…lightning strikes continuously about 400 yards from shore, and it gets kind of scary. But I do love the water, and this lake seems to look different each time I photograph it!
How weird, I can’t help wondering why it was full of water, and how long had it been sitting there with water in it. Great find. I love the contrast of the red against the normal scene there. I can actually feel the cold.
It had rained, Leanne, but not that much, so I figure the water is mostly melted snow. A couple of good snowstorms must have filled this watertight canoe…and the owner did not check on his beloved craft to turn it and empty it. There’s a story in that…perhaps?
