Take Me on a Boat Ride!

These two Canada geese were hanging out on the boats-for-rent at the small lake. Were they waiting for someone to take them on a boat ride?

They sure explored the boats quite thoroughly.

And when no one came to give them a ride, they seemed to be ready to take matters in their own hands... ehm feet... beak...

Waiting For the Season to Start

During the warm season you can rent a boat at the lake and spend some relaxing hours on the water. You can choose between paddles, kayaks and row boats.

During one of my last visits the boats were already at the lake - waiting for the season to start. I love their warm yellow contrasting with the deep blue of the lake, especially in the morning when the sunlight is filtered through the trees and still has this beautiful golden tone.

But the row boats look quite romantic as well. I have a soft spot for row boats...

Not much longer, and the boats will go out on the water. I will still see them in the morning tied together close to the beach, but not that close as this time.

Dreamy Boats

Sometime in October I had planned to post this photo for Texture Tuesday, and then I completely forgot about it. I never posted it - so it will get its turn today.

I took the picture of these boats in the summer of 1989 while vacationing in France. I can't remember which river this was - I don't have good memories of this vacation and I only remember a very few places. I've also only kept a very few slides from that trip. For some reason I've kept these boats - and I'm glad I did.
