It's truly amazing how Mother Nature's gift of light....
allows me to espy Mr. O in a sea of blue
floating aimlessly with the current...
as I submarine my way slowly and deftly into position....
Noticing the brightly coloured sails on the horizon...
can't distract me from my goal...
snatch and turn
the gorgeous pink sail looms precariously on the rocks...
It would seem to be
melting like butter and disappearing around the corner.
My success is always acknowledged by my guys
as I pull myself from the water.
Today...the sails appear to be ethereal, gossamer and transparent
for the angle of the light illuminates the sailcloth....
as we round the bend in the road at Point pleasant Park
where I meet Jim sauntering and catching up to us,
after a successful photo shoot nearby.
WoW!
ReplyDeleteSophie, those are GREAT shots!
Have a nice week!
Hi everyone over there...so great to hear from again...been too long...I'm heading over!!!
DeleteWow Sophie you looked like you were gonna swim for ever. You must have been a duck in a previous life. Lovely Sunday to all your peeps.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes Molly
That's what we think sometimes when she starts heading out....as a pup she'd didn't do this but now that she's 5.5 yrs she's a daredevil!
DeleteGorgeous pictures, my compliments to the photographer. ;-)
ReplyDeleteIs the water warm there now Sophie? Did you shake out on anyone? :-)
Have great day!
Yes August is a warm water month...however that doesn't deter Sophie from going in any time of year...DEC JAN FEB not so much...we won't let her....!
DeleteSunday in the Park with Jim ... Those last two photos look like "A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte"!
ReplyDeleteIt appeared to be very Seurat in colour and nature, I agree. The light is the answer that's all I can say!

ReplyDeleteYes, Jenn...we do not take anything, and I mean anything, for granted!!
DeleteSophie, what beautiful pictures! But don't your Dad's get even a little nervous when you swim so far out? I think I would, but then, that's me and I am a worrier! :-)
ReplyDeleteNow don't be worrying Kimmers.....I am such a strong swimmer...I learned Basics 101 at day care camp with mucho many dogs...I used to charge into the water and swim the fastest out to the ball, retrieve, chew and release!!Loved it!

ReplyDeleteYou have really good eyes, Miss Sophie. I couldn't see Mr. Orangie in the first photo until I saw it in the second. But you were right on the ball, as they say.
The ripples covered Mr. O...I just clicked on the photo and wow..did it ever get big.
