OK, Mira, now you've done it!

I went back this morning to photograph the "subject" (for the Nautical and Nice theme) my husband and I noticed when driving to the airport yesterday...and I got a shot
I really like as much as the one I thought I was going to use. Decisions, decisions.

Aaaghhh!


A little teaser... the subject is shrimp boats.

The most interesting one is the second, to my eyes. We had a BAD storm last night! My internet was out for 15 hours, just came back on and voilà, your photos and my name in the title jumped at me the first thing.
I actually found more potentials as well in the very spot I suspected to find them. So it will be interesting to see what shows up for the contest.
Stay safe. Last night was really scary. I have never looked out my window and the winds blew rain and hail horizontally and the water mess was so thick I could not see through it.

I have to keep an eye on the weather to coordinate dog walking.

Think I'm done shooting for the day. Have to play with what I have.

Yikes! I hate storms with all that wind, especially at home surrounded by trees.

Stay safe!

I'm glad you motivated me to go back. Thanks!

I ain't never SEEN a virgin fishing boat before. That Captain Phillips is the nautical version of an air-brushed Playboy spread...
