Can you see the 'head' of the turtle, half in shadow, on Turtle Island? Turtles actually climb up the granite to deposit their eggs in the sand, found in a few depressions in the rock.
Saturday was a fine day: sunshine, a cool breeze, and not too hot.
After supper, DH, dog, and I climbed into the canoe and paddled around part of Bradley Lake. Here's what we saw:
Pink granite rising out of the water.
green trees reflected in the blue
The rocky edge of Blueberry Island.The granite ranges from Pink to dark grey, and here shows what looks like a streak of blue. It's probably just lichen.
Then spread across the sky.
The shadows deepened, and it was time to return home.
Hope you had a wonderful Saturday.
Thanks for visiting.
Hugs from Suz
Beautiful photos. Bet the mist was lovely.
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful photos I could see the head of the turtle ..how interesting.
ReplyDeleteThanks Judy and Shirley. My DS & DIL gave me the camera one Christmas, and it's so easy to use. I just point and shoot. At the right angle, Shirley, one can see not only the turtle's head, but also the shell hump and the front legs! Really neat!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful place. Your tatting is wonderful. Thanks for commenting on my blog.
ReplyDeleteYes, Sandy, it is a beautiful place, and I am so lucky to live here. I'm glad you like my tatting: I am enjoying your sun prints. I wonder if it would work with regular acrylic paints? Thanks so much for visiting.

Thank you Susan. I have been a follower for a while, but found out I was listed as anonymous by mistake, and I have corrected that. Thanks for visiting, and I do hope you give tatting a try.
ReplyDeleteWhat great photos! I especially like the first one with the faint mist - you can see it but it's so subtle. It looks like it was a wonderful day; there is truly nothing like a day on and near the water. Thanks so much for sharing them.
ReplyDeleteThanks for you kind comment - I couldn't find whether I'd come by to say welcome to my blog or not & you joined ages ago! Huge appologies - life can sometimes get in the way, so thanks for joining!
ReplyDeleteLove your pics, particularly your header. Did you see the 'walk' I took everybody on a while back? I hadn't thought of a water 'walk', thanks for the inspiration!
Your pieces are lovely - I haven't got such patience & love to throw things at my fabric or paper, as you've probably noticed!
Hi Emma, and thanks so much for following my blog! I have been enjoying your holiday pics--you take such lovely photos of wonderful shadows and architecture and I want to paint them all!--and it's been a treat seeing all your birthday postcards. Living where you do, I think a water walk would be fantastic. I'll be waiting to see it. Hugs
ReplyDeleteHi Jillayne. That first photo you liked is the same view I see out my kitchen window, so it gives me something beautiful and ever-changing to look at while I wash dishes.
