How I'd love to be there right now. It's been raining since last night here and rather cool. Even some tornadoes in central Alberta, just a couple hours south of us, last night.
I am beginning to really enjoy pictures of boats, water and sky. Think I will try a local lake this weekend...if it's not 120-degrees outside! Nice picture Pat.
Leia - thanks so much! All I did was push the button (well, maybe a bit more)!
Arija - It's a beautiful place. thanks for commenting!
SQ - Thanks Judy! I hope to be back up there pretty soon. Have a good week!
Rita - It's a great area. If you do, make sure you have a couple of days at least!
Francisca - There isn't enough marina space for private boats, so they anchor instead. I had to reduce the size for something else and I don't know where the bigger one is! darn...
Baby Sister - Me too! although right now, I'll opt for the sleep!
Dianne - Thanks so much! I really appreciate what you said!
D&R - In the overall scheme of the bay, it's still pretty empty. Thanks!
Shrinky - thanks! It came out really good. The color really popped.
missing moments - Thanks so much for both commenting and signing on! I appreciate both!
John - Both posts made it! thanks John! I'll be over...
Oakland Daily - thanks! I thought that one boat is what made the photo work.
awarewriter - Thanks so much! We did have an amazing fourth! I've seen your some of your b&w vietnam shots, but it's been awhile. I'll be over!
Tess - It sure was. The water was so still. Thanks Tess!
Rosemary - Oh yeah! A cold glass of almost anything! thanks!
That's a lot of boats!

ReplyDeleteAlex - Yep, not only a lot of boats, but you have to have a boat to get to your boat!
ReplyDeleteBetty M - Thanks Betty!
Costas - Thanks so much! you have a great weekend also.

Sylvia K - Thanks so much! One of my favorite places to visit.
EG Wow - Thanks! I agree with you!

Such a pretty harbor. I like how that yellow sailboat is stealing the show.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely.
ReplyDeleteLove the picture. It almost doesn't look real somehow. Like toy boats on a blue canvas. Very cool.
ReplyDeleteI like that the shot is framed with the tree
ReplyDeleteDorian - Thanks so much! There always seems to be a camera hog in every shot!
ReplyDeleteKarin - Thanks so much! Have a great weekend.
Tim - thanks Tim! It was a hard one to screw up.
Budd - Thanks Budd! It was a natural for a good photo.
I think I'd take Monterey Bay over Lake Britton this time of year. Inland lakes are just too hot in July and August.
ReplyDeleteThe blue in that shot is eye-popping, Pat! And I love that you got it from beside a tree. Just lovely!
ReplyDeleteNevine
It could be in Brittany, France!what a peaceful view!
ReplyDeleteThat water almost looks like blue glass. Nice!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great view, I love that tree!
ReplyDeletewell what amazes me is the color of the water. what hour of the day was this taken? just wondering - it's bewitching.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to be sitting under that tree and enjoying the view in person. Nice capture!
ReplyDeleteLooks so incredibly relaxing...
ReplyDeleteCan I come for a visit?
Monterey Musing!
ReplyDeletesuch a nice shot - glad I stopped by-

ReplyDeleteMartha - I hear you! I'd still like to see it though.
ReplyDeleteNevine - Hey there! Thanks. Without the tree, it would have just an ordinary photo.
Malyss - I wish I had taken it in Brittany! Maybe someday...
Ms A - thanks! It was totally calm. Although there are none in the photo, there were several seals swimming around.
Woody - Thanks so much! I agree, the tree makes it work.
Ms. Becky - Based on the color of the water, I'd say it was about mid-day. thanks so much!
Lindy - thanks so much! I'd like to be sitting there also.
Kato - You can come for a visit. that spot is still there waiting for you.
Cloudia - Thanks so much for stopping by. I just returned hoome after spending a couple of weeks in your great state.

James - Thanks James! I'm surprised you haven't been. It's a wonderful place.
Blue Wave - Yep! To me, it seems like an hard way to keep a boat.
Shirley - That's pretty scary! It's cooling off a bit here as well. It's usually pretty mild here.
faye - I saw him sing that song live (a long time ago).
Chuck - I like to look at them because it reminds me how much I love to see them in person.
Magnificent scenery, the blue water is awesome and the tree looks a frame for this postcard! :)
ReplyDeleteLéia
Nice boat reflections and such a peaceful bay.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful view Pat, I really like the way you framed the shot with the tree limbs. I wouldn't mind spending a few hours enjoying that view.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
A part of California I missed seeing on my visits. I will have to try to get there next time because it is lovely.
ReplyDeletePat this is a wonderful shot and a treat for us land locked midwesterners.
Busy bay! But a calm one. Can you /do you swim here, too? I enlarged the photo, but hey, you didn't leave it large enough. LOL!
ReplyDeleteThis makes me want to get on a boat and catch some rays and some sleep. :)
ReplyDeletelovely colors
ReplyDeletethe yellow boat really pops
and your perspective makes me feel I'm standing there
Great shot but there are so many boats it almost looks like a parking lot.
ReplyDeleteDarryl and Ruth :)
It looks like a watercolour painting - so serene and peaceful!
ReplyDeleteAs a sailor, this is a PERFECT shot! Just discovered you on Weekend Reflections .. new follower!
ReplyDeleteBEAUTIFUL!!! Hello my Brother--may you always find safe harbor!
ReplyDeleteJohn

Beautiful capture. Can't help but be extra cheered by that splash of yellow.
ReplyDeleteNice shot Pat. The framing is excellent and the color of that water...
ReplyDeleteLooks like you guys had a fantastic fourth. Nice series of shots there.
Thanks for visiting. Yes. Bell bottoms and sandals do date that young lady on the subway car.
You might want to check out my Weekend B&W shots. I found some prints and negatives I shot in downtown Saigon with my minox.

ReplyDeleteI can picture myself on one of those sailboats, bobbing on the gentle ripples, sipping a cold glass of .... yum.
