Une belle touche de couleurs vives au milieu de tout ce bleu. Ca me fait penser aux vacances, et ça tombe bien puisque je pars demain pour 2 semaines de repos dans le sud de la France (pays basque). Et pour toi c'est pour bientôt ? Je te souhaite de toute façon 2 bonnes semaines Lorraine et te retrouve le 20/07.

Richard_Irwin from Belper, United Kingdom
I love the way the blueness of the sky & water is brought into check by the intennsity of the red in the sails. Neat work, you have a masterful eye Lorraine.

4 Jul 2008 12:39am

MaryB from Staffordshire, United Kingdom
Ok, you've convinced me Lorraine, I need to visit Canada. (I missed out when my mam, dad and bro visited, I'd already booked to go to Ibiza!!!!!) Now all I have to do is get rid of my fear of flying lol.
Fantabulous colours, this screams SUMMER!
4 Jul 2008 12:54am
@MaryB: Oh but you must dear Mary, but until then, feel free to visit my site anyday lol you've been to Ibiza? me too, lovely isn't it...I don't fear flying but I remember coming back from Spain and encountering a storm in the air, I was hoping that if we were to crash it'd be over Canada, so I'd die at home...weird thoughts I have sometimes ;) and Thanks so much lol
Barbara from Florida, United States
Great day for sailing. I love the pattern and colors. This looks like a beautiful lake, which is it? The remote background looks inviting, far away from city. Ahhh! Beautiful Lorraine.
4 Jul 2008 3:59am
@Barbara: Hey Barb, it's the Outaouais River or Ottawa River, it's weird lol..but the river on this side is Quebec and on the opposite side it's Ottawa, Ontario, we' re bilingual ;) and bi-coastal lol
Michael Rawluk from Prince George, Canada
The sails pop with that beautiful blue behind. Terrific.
4 Jul 2008 4:34am
@Michael Rawluk: Thanks so much Michael :)
Scotfot from Kabul, Afghanistan
Perfect contrast, perhaps it needs a bit more space in front of the boat (need faster trigger finger?) lol - Sorry, I'm in a funny mood - just had Chinese flu :-)
5 Jul 2008 11:32am
@Scotfot: Hey Bob, it's not my finger that's slow, but although I tried to change the speed between photos I still haven't found a way to make it quicker so that I often lose some shots....although how in the world could you tell? lol don't worry about it, sorry about the flu though, rest, rest, have a neo citran, they help and make you drowsy and happy ;)
@Cool Daddio: Wow a trio of comments from you, what a joy lol thanks so much :)
