  7. I am drawn to the chair in the lower left corner - Don't know why. It either makes the composition or breaks it. - I think it has the aspect of where my feet would be striding while looking at this scene. Don't know - maybe I'm just high again (no, I'm not).

  12. How slow am I that I just now got that the title Weekend Reflections is because each picture has a reflection? My life needs a cup of coffee. And I don't even like coffee.

    Great picture. Really pretty.

  13. Chris Phillips - Thanks for stopping by and commenting! I appreciate it.

    Sylvia - Thanks so much! good to be back! Interesting that we both had sailboats in this thing...

    Jhon - I'm totally with you. The only reason I left it in, was because it was a metal patio chair sitting in the back of a boat. I also liked the piece of trash floating in the water.

    Lucy - I know! Too many lines.

    Cheeseboy - This is a pretty nice area. We were eating King Crab while I took the pic. Not a great photo, but a lot of good lines.

    Robyn - Thanks! They are indeed palm trees and they are my favorite part of the photo. in the midst of all those lines.

    Berit - Thanks so much Berit. Feeling pretty good. Have a good weekend and try to stay warm

  15. PAT- REALLY COOL REFLECTION OF THE MASTS! Sorry-CLA-- but then I just looked and looked and the DEPTH is astounding!

  16. How have boats changed since the 1930s? Probably a lot, but it just has that feel to me. Nice one!

    ReplyDelete
  17. Pat, thanks. I thought they were, but something about them looks so uniform and mechanical. They're my favorite part of the photo too! xo

    ReplyDelete
  18. That looks like such a nice place, I'll bet there are lots of ><(((Âș> in there too!

    ReplyDelete
  19. I think the zigzagy reflections in the water are really cool!!

  20. I'm a water baby,a sailor and loved this picture. Like Jhon, I love the chair in the shot.... like polar opposites with the boats..

    Thank you Pat for being so supportive of me, my words and just being a good friend. You needed to know that...

  21. Tim - That's funny! Wake up!!!
    thanks...

    Ren - Thanks so much! Somethings seem to be meant for B&W and some for color.

    John - Thanks John! there's a lot going on in this one for sure!

    tapirgal - I don't know! Electronics and much less wood now, I suppose!

    Robyn - Yes! I love the pattern of them also!

    Brian - Yep! I used catch crabs in just about that spot!

    Sarah - I think so also Sarah! Thanks!

    Lynne - Thanks Lynne! You write really well and get a lot of feeling from heart to paper! thanks so much for the nice words!

  22. Nice shot Pat...reminds me to visit the harbor on Lake Erie when I go home next week. Hoping to get some good winter photos back in Ohio.

    ReplyDelete
  23. This reminds me on one of my very first watercolors -what I love about a harbor is all the masts going up in the sky! Enjoy your weekend!

    ReplyDelete
  24. Chuck - I used to live in Port Clinton on the lake a loooon time ago. Looking forward to some stories and/or photos! try to stay warm!

    jeannette - I totally agree. I also like how the masts move as the sailboats bob in the water...

    SKIZO - Thanks so much!

    ReplyDelete
  25. Ah, you have a great eye for a good shot - well captured, my friend. Wishing you all that is right in the world, and a fabulous Merry Christmas, hon. (x)

    ReplyDelete
  26. You know, for some reason this picture is mesmerizing to me. Maybe it is the symmetry of the masts, both up and down. I like it.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Excellent shot! I like the lines of the reflected masts and the palm trees in the distance. Oh and b&w works very well!

    ReplyDelete
  28. Love that shot. Looks actually like the beginning to the opening of gilligan. No joke.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Gorgeous! Makes me long for water instead of ice!

  30. OHMYGOD!!!! I was going to tell you how awesome this pic is (I know, "tell me something I DON'T know" right?) and then I say what is one of MY favorite movie and my favorite quote ever: "The Dude abides" I love this movie. Booby and I are constantly quoting it, most of our ringtones are Big Lebowski clips! "No Walter you're not wrong, you're just an asshole" hahaha!

  32. Shrinky - Thanks foor the nice words! Happy holidays to you and your family as well...

    Jerry - Me too! It keeps drawing my eye up and down, but I always end up at the palm trees in the background...

    James - Thanks James! I'm betting most folks don't even see the palm trees!

    Jesse - Thanks! Oh crap, now I'm whistling the theme song...

    Lorac - Thanks Brrr! We are in the dead of our winter right now...a couple of days of rain...LOL sorry!

    Miss Nikki - Thanks so much!

  51. I just had a really weird world-is-so-small moment when I looked at this photo and recognized that I see this place, every Sunday, when I visit it for the local farmers market.

    ReplyDelete
  52. Katherine - wow! I had no idea. We used to go to that farmer's market all the time.
