A family trip? This looks like a lovely adventure in Canada.

@givethemhell: Yes, but not my family. They just live on the island and keep a canoe there. Canada is such a great place to do this. Thank you.
Nice. I love canoeing.

@Photonscribbles: Thanks for you excellent comment.
Michael, thanks for the gesture and your commentaries. I will use that Web of translation.
This photo is charming reason why it means, the place, Canada, a place that it would enchant to me to know and by the image of pretty colors and reflections.
I hope that the translation is intelligible.

@Gloria Alvarez: La traducción es excelente. Gracias por el comentario realmente agradable.

@Anna: Thank you, Anna. I hope one day you will get that chance.
Now that looks like fun! Great capture!
15 Feb 2008 2:26am
@Craiger: I completely agree. Thank you, Craiger.
I really like the red of the canoe against the blue, blue of the water. It's a great composition and an interesting look into a facet of lives of those who live near water.

@martie: Yes. I felt envious that they could just come down to the sea and do this anytime they wanted. Thanks, Martie.
nice colors!
15 Feb 2008 3:02am
@Hoopand: Thank you, Hoopand.
This is a really nice image!I like the way the wooden platform extends into the water and the blue of the water changing from a dark to light blue.I dont mind immersing my feet into the water but i guess i really am not the kind to fish,no patience,LOL
15 Feb 2008 3:17am
@tyan: Yes, I'm not a great fisherman either. Thank you, Tyan.
Beautiful, nice colors
15 Feb 2008 3:50am
@Shenne: Thank you, Shenne.
Very nice central perspective, great colors.
15 Feb 2008 3:57am
@badala: A nice comment. Thank you.
My dream is to have a lake behind my house and go canoe every evening with my friends and family. Enjoy nature. But sadly i live in a condominium :) LOL!
15 Feb 2008 4:28am
@Levine: I hope you get your dream. Thank you, Levine.
a beautiful photo. what was thinking the boy??? juping? :)
15 Feb 2008 4:36am
@Teresa Durães: Thanks, Teresa. The boy was probably looking at some fish which were swimming near the dock.
So refreshing, the mom and son activity is precious, there's a lot of good stuff in this photo ;)
15 Feb 2008 5:09am
@Lorraine: Yes, it has a Hallmark feel to it. Thank you, Lorraine.
Great angle point of view, people totally unaware you are taking the shot (at least I think), great composition
15 Feb 2008 5:12am
@Peter Miller: Thanks, Peter. Yes, they were unaware of me.
Lovely picture composition, tones and I can feel the serenity! Beautiful, Michael!
15 Feb 2008 5:19am
@Sriram: Thank you for the really nice comment, Sriram. It was a very serene day.
Now that really is a dream location, and dream activity, it looks a lot of fun.
15 Feb 2008 5:31am
@Richard_Irwin: It sure does. Thank you, Richard. The Gulf Islands are like a dream.
I like how you composed it and shot the dock diagonally. It's a pleasing image.
15 Feb 2008 5:54am
@Steven: Thanks, Steven. It was a split-second shot before the people moved.
I love the way your shot captured the ripples... It give a sense of motion that i really like... makes the water look so.... flowy...
15 Feb 2008 7:14am
@Koushiro: Thank you, Koushiro. That's a nice comment.
Love this shot, Michael. The light and shadow are beautiful here.
15 Feb 2008 7:37am
@Ron: Thank you, Ron.
wonderful shot...the colors ... everthing is perfect
15 Feb 2008 7:43am
@MJ: Many thanks, MJ.
This is marvelous; I can only imagine what it looks like full-sized! Is this your family?
15 Feb 2008 7:59am
@Judy: It isn't my family. I just saw the people in what I thought was a great setting. Thanks, Judy.
Ah the canoe, another quinessential Canadian mode of transportation and a gift of the first nations to the world. For those who don't know the expression, "first nations" is the way the native Americans prefer to be called, they really don't like to be called Indians... Do I see right, even the dog has a swimvest?
15 Feb 2008 8:26am
@vu@granby - Wolfgang Prigge: You are correct. Excellent observation. Thank you, Wolfgang.
Looks like there's some big-time anticipation at the end of the dock. BTW, I really like that "first nations" term; hadn't heard it around here before, but I do prefer it to "native Americans" or other efforts at political correctness.
15 Feb 2008 8:30am
@Viewfinder: Thanks, VF. First Nations refers to indians generally from the west coast of Canada.
Is this the same boat? With a BIRD capitan! :)
I love the deep colours!
15 Feb 2008 9:06am
@alla: This one has a dog captain. Thanks, Alla.
I miss canoe trips. My brother and I paddle around in the very distant past.
15 Feb 2008 11:46am
@Michael Rawluk: Sounds like great memories. Thank you, Michael.
The pier seems daunting in comparison to the size of the canoe, giving me the feeling that the canoe can be easily tipped. The composition also works well, showing action, movement and placement in the entire frame.
15 Feb 2008 11:58am
@Steven: An excellent comment, Steven. Thank you.
I love the detail in the water. You can see the vibration rings working out from the pier.
15 Feb 2008 12:10pm
@Tracey: You're right. thank you so much.
I really like how you cropped this for the line of the canoe and dock.. which draws the eye up from the red jacket to the boy and the dog (with red jacket). It has a great symmetry. Really a fabulous image!
15 Feb 2008 12:14pm
@amy: Thank you, Amy. I appreciate that analysis.

15 Feb 2008 3:13pm
@Kaddy: Thank you, Kaddy.
Your light and color captures the crispness and clarity of the cool air on this lake. How did you do that: magic? Nice shot.
15 Feb 2008 3:19pm
@Ken McCoy: Actually it's the Pacific Ocean, Ken. Salt Spring island is supposed to be on magical world lay lines. Perhaps that accounts for it. LOL. Thanks, Ken.
There is space for one more? :) Good work.
15 Feb 2008 3:26pm

Seems like a fun vacation! Wonderful colour tones in this photo
15 Feb 2008 8:06pm
@Sharon Y: Thank you, Sharon.
Interesting crop here, Michael, meant to bring forth the contrast of colours! the funniest thing is the dog to go canoeing!!! I saw one here, in Japan, on TV...a Labrador that was difficult to restrain, it wanted badly to play in the river water.
16 Feb 2008 12:17am
@Japanalia: Yes, and he has a life preserver. By the way, Marta loved the photos of the orchids. Thank you so much for your kindness.
Canoing is definitely a fun adventure Canada seems to be the coolest place from your pictures
