Take me on a trip upon your magic swirlin' ship ...

Well, at least the cold water will wake you up.

Richard,

Cool photo.  Sorry about your cold, wet foot.

Ann

Richard,  The pain that true artists must suffer for their craft.  Make sure you keep both ears though, they're a matching pair.  It did help Van Gogh though.

MMMM mmmmm Richard.....BEauTIful! Definitely mesmerizing.......swirling gold,....beautiful photo........you captured a moment in time!

Thanks for the pic Richard.....nothing like jumping right in and getting your feet wet!

Richard, A good photographer braves the elements to get that perfect shot. I remember being in water up to my chest taking the 'perfect' picture of a lighthouse... Things we do when we get in our right mind eh???

"I'm ready for to fade"...that's always been a pet peeve of mine.  Even after all these years......and I didn't think it sounded any better by The Byrds.

Good morning Richard.  Very hallucinogenic picture.  And blog.

Perhaps something a little stronger than coffee enjoyed on your trips to nature?:)

Ken

Richard, nice picture...and Ken has the same question I have...What was in that AM coffee!!  ;}

Talk about being engulfed in your work.  I can only imagine the excitement whe the picture was finally taken and your foot was out of the water.  LOL

Ricahrd -bummer to end up squishing the rest of the day. But, at least to us observers, your wet footed discomfort was certainly worth the pleasure of reading your post and looking at your dizzying picture.

Great pic and great song....didn't think you were old enough to have heard that one!

I hate it when my feet are cold!

Richard,

Of course if was worth the wet foot...and so much more.

Ann

LOL, Nature has a way of bringing us back to reality!
