Great blue shades in this shot Lorraine - sky, water; plus a very nice reflection of that big tree.
10 May 2008 2:28pm
@Viewfinder: Thanks a lot Vf, not quite the stupendous blue you had in yours, but it's still pretty ;)
Anne from White Rock, Canada
Lovely! The color the reflections everything! Your trees have also got a great coat of green growing. More than our deciduous trees which line the street! Of course, we have green grass, firs and evergreens though! Your blue tones tell me though that your weather could still be a little cool! :-)
10 May 2008 3:04pm
@Anne: Hi Anne,
Yes indeed, it's beautiful and still a bit chilly, well at least at the marina...but I'm not complaining after the winter we've had, this is tropical ;)

Breathtaking view mon amie. Love the color - the exposure is fantastic on this shot.
10 May 2008 5:51pm
@Janice Thomson: Sum, sum, summer time, okay maybe not quite, but to me it's the tropics, high of 20 sunny all day, I'll go seek more garage sales and try to find some stupendous colours to add to my Colour blog ;) thanks always mon amie!
oh and happy mom's day ;)
Illuci from Hurdegaryp, Netherlands
Beautiful blues! But rather empty, here the marinas are already crowded in the morning and evening and half empty during the day :). I wish you a good sailing season!
10 May 2008 6:22pm
@Illuci: Thanks a lot Erik, I don't anything in the summer or any other season, sad but true. I'm too busy catching the images through my lense, and strangely enough, that's just the way I like it :)
@Scotfot: LOL and YAY to that! Thanks a lot Bob ;)
@Ilnoir: Wrong...lol c'est une riviere, ah ah merci beaucoup Nathanael :)
