Bookmark Giveaway: Photo Challenge Winner

And the winner is. . . Pam, from a rustling of leaves!

The photo was taken a few weeks ago when we were up on Big Crooked Lake in Wisconsin.  It was taken early in the morning, with the sun shining across the lake toward the pier.  The pontoon boat was beached this year, due to a very dry summer.    I took the picture from the beach, looking through the space between the pontoons, toward the motor.

Here is Pam's description of the photo:   

Looks like you are looking under one of those sailboats with the two catamaran's with the rudder showing in the middle through the water as it is setting at the dock with the sun showing from the back of the boat. Since no waves it has to be setting still, sun in the background since the darker places are forward.

Substitute pontoon boat for catamaran and, by George!  she's got it!!   Pam, I'll be contacting you via email today!

Since we have vacationed at the same place every year, I have taken a million pictures of the same things over the years so I decided to do something different with the nature photos this summer.  I focused in on color and texture only.  I'm not a great photographer, but I was hoping to learn something new and explore a bit.  Over the next few days, I'll be posting up some of the pictures.

Whew-hoo! How neat is that? We used to have a pontoon boat at our cottage on Lake Raystown. I thought of pontoons right away but then thought bigger maybe? I remember setting out front draggin my feet through the water as Dad cruised along slowly. Gathered up all kinds of neat treasures that floated on the water. We even had owl patio lights around the top and they would glisten off the water at night. Oh what sweet memories this has conjured up, Kim! Thanks for such a neat give-away ... really looking forward to my gift, too! ;-))
