Another evening (after the baseball outing) found us in the park by the river, still looking for sports and action photos.
Evening was getting on, but a lone kayaker paddled by. I actually envisioned this panoramic crop before clicking. I wish I had been able to get more of the wake, but I came close to getting the photo that I had wanted.
A little later, a dragon boat went by. It was farther across the river and my shutter speed was slower, so the people are a bit fuzzy if you zoom in. So don't zoom in. :)
We were hearing bagpipe music playing in the distance, so we went to another spot in the park in search of the music. The piper was found . . .
No kids around so evidently he wasn't the Pied Piper.
ReplyDeleteLovely shots and I love the dragon boat especially.
ReplyDeleteThe last time I heard the pipes was Canada Day.
ReplyDeleteWondering if the piper has neighbours who hate him. I covet your river.
ReplyDeleteOuch. Yes, bagpiper heard!
ReplyDeleteWonderful river shots! Piper doing his thing...not associated with anyone who's listening - unless the fisherman is using the sound to attract fish.
ReplyDelete"So don't zoom in" reminded me of what I always say here in the South, in the summer: "It's a hundred degrees in the shade so whatever you do, don't stand in the shade." At any rate I love the colors of the rowers reflected in the water. Idyllic. xoxo
ReplyDeleteLove the river shots.
ReplyDeletePeople in your town are fairly active in the evening.
ReplyDeleteI love that, 'don't zoom in!'
ReplyDeleteThat's a familiar story for many of my photos!
That guy down by the river seemed to be about to yell at that piper: "Hey I'm tryin' to fish here! Pipe down, willya?"
ReplyDeleteMight sound strange. I like the sound of bag pipes.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on, and stay safe.
You got your mojo. Love the reflections of rowers and the pipe player.
ReplyDeleteLove the boats on the river, especially the first one. Of course I had to zoom in though :) I enjoy bagpipes if well-played but prefer the piper to be wearing a kilt.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Mari was sitting on the arm of the recliner as I played the video. She evidently doesn't like the bagpipes. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat shots of the boats. The Scottish part of me likes the bagpipes too.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots, all.
ReplyDeleteLove bagpipes myself, but o know many who cover their ears at the sound. Love the kayak photo, and the dragonboat.
