Rustic wooden skiff in the reeds
With this blog I hope to convey the impressions and sensations of summer: the hot air, the sound of buzzing insects and the smell of the water. Especially for those of you who live in big cities, perhaps this gives you a feeling of escape.
Adding photo #1 in black & white as per John's suggestion.

The first unpainted rowboat in the series may still be in use, however the next rowboat is decaying from many years of disuse.

I loved its patina and the wabi sabi.

Next is a close-up of the rowlock for the oars.

I wonder what happened to the owner. Perhaps he is older and unable to get out anymore.
What happened to its owner? The boat is patiently waiting for him
There are many small man-made lakes near to where I live. This lake also has a campground, however these photos were taken on the other side where the locals hang out.
I can almost hear the cicadias humming in the background of #7. This is a rather cool set of images : )
Nice to hear from you Russell! Thank you very much, glad to hear you heard the cicadas😀
:) I think if I lived in a location that they do not it would not feel like summer
