Ready girls?

All these lovely red boats have girls names, I thought they looked very smart all ready for a day's work on the lake.

Thank you for all the lovely faves on yesterday's shot, much appreciated!

Three good things:
1. I've been down the M61 today delivering Christmas presents for NZ, going in a suitcase next week!
2. Harry has finished creosoting the fences & hen cabin, lovely winter smell around!
3. Had a good burn out on the motorway.....I shouldn't say that but I do like a bit of speed!

A gorgeous scene with the pop of red brightening up the otherwise blue hazy day -- love it --fav

This is lovely.. are they for taking tourist foe rides on the lake?.. Looks so still. You are super organised with your Xmas shopping . #3.. you little hoon..

[Jennifer]

You rebel!! Lol! Lovely shot with the red pops and that lovely duck!

[carol white]

A beautiful scene and capture. Fav!! 😃

[Hazel]

Fabulous composition & love the pops of red - fav for me. ( I think a good burn out is also good for one's car!)

[Dianne]

Wow - love the pop of colour from the boats. An interesting tradition that all boats are female!

[Krista Marson]

very relaxing scene.

@julzmaioro they are for hire Julz, they were missing at lunchtime so must have all been out in the Lake.

[Pat Knowles]

@quietpurplehaze That's my excuse Hazel but you are right of course!

[Pat Knowles]

@beryl thanks Beryl, the red did look good!

[Pat Knowles]

@jesperani He he I am!!

[Pat Knowles]

@carolmw thanks Carol, glad you like it!

[Pat Knowles]

@dide es always a she, men must think boats are temperamental!

[Pat Knowles]

@blueberry1222 Thank you Krista!

[Hayley Maxwell]

Lovely tranquil scene and the pop of red is fab.

[Bep]

Lovely composition!

[Sarah Bremner]

Gorgeous! wonder what the story behind the names is!!!
Oooooh Christmas organisation - well done!! Susannah is going to see Laura and I should have done the same!!!!

[Maggiemae]

Beautiful scene as you turned around on this lake and a lovely view over the lake towards the boats. If the red ones have girls names, then the white ones might have boy's names? I guess there might be a lucky and an unlucky name! Autumn smells are wonderful - but not burning rubber!

[KWind]

Love how they are red. Most boats are white here.

[Pat Knowles]

@maggiemae boats always have girls names Maggie! Very quick with the burning rubber quip!!

[Babs]

Lovely composition. The red really pops.

I can imagine you as being a bit of a lead foot Pat. ha ha.

I love the smell of creosote.

[Pat Knowles]

@onewing Ha ha Babs, lead foot, I like it!

[Sue Cooper]

Lovely capture. I love the red boats.

[Phil Howcroft]

beautiful, tranquil, calming and a fave

[Brennie B]

So calm and still.quietly waiting for their time...not like you then Pat! Bit of a speed girl then eh! Can't beat it.

[Jane Pittenger]

The red/ pink against the blue is lovely. They look dressed for a party

[Pat Knowles]

@brennieb well no more than eighty Brenda!!!!

[Chris K]

very pretty reds against the blue. My what a "hoon" you are. Must have been fun though. Your motorways rather scare me when everyone is going fast although I suppose that's better than the traffice jams I have seen when there is a hold up somewhere

[Joyce]

Beautiful shot Pat. Had to pick Anthony up from an outpatient appointment at 5:00 last night. My burn out never went above 20MPH and mostly slower. I swear the the traffic gets heavier every time I go there!

[Pat Knowles]

@thistle How frustrating Joyce, that time of day would be horrendous I imagine! Going dark too!

[Pat Knowles]

@cruiser Well it was the middle of the day so quite quiet on the motorway. I have never heard that word before @julzmaioro used it too, must be a Southern Hemisphere saying!

[julia]

Haha hadn't thought about it being just southern hemisphere but just looked 'hoon' up in the urban dictionary and it looks as though it is .. or at least NZ Australia.

[Jocasta]

Love the pop of red and mist in the distance - super photo

[Lee]

Beautiful Windermere.

[dh (delena)]

I like that pop of red against the foggy background.
