Down by the River by myhrhelper

Down by the River

Milwaukee River was so much more colorful just a couple months ago but now everything is getting ready to sleep for the winter! I found this spot interesting regardless of the lack of color.

Couple years ago my husband & I took an inflatable kayak during the spring time when the water was much deeper! It was so beautiful, peaceful and COLD! Our boat sprang a leak!. Awesome memories.

Oh the stories these rivers could tell!
I do see color! A beautiful shot. It makes me wish I could be there to experience the change of seasons.

Nice to see a photo that I could have taken this afternoon, 1000s of kilometers departed in Holland! Uploaded a photo of this Dutch lake area today.

@djepie I can see what you meant by your comment after looking at your pic. Looks like we have some similar terrain!
December 18th, 2011  
Stunning!

@swilde Thank you Sue for the words of encouragement! I look at other photographers & think why try - I'll never be as good as.... but those kind words help me stay motivated.

@kerrinjane @paulaag Thank you so much for the words of encouragement! I am very much in the learning stage of photography (especially since I'm somewhat of a newby) so the encouragement helps me more than you know!

I have seen that river... maybe not that exact location, but our daughter just moved from Milwaukee! She lived just on the other side of the freeway from Bayshore. Nice shot, btw... :)

I'm amazed by how much color there is in the photo. When I look at our river it looks so drab. You've shown how many rich tones there really are. Lovely.

@herussell Thank you so much! The colors are there but seem to be hiding! This time of year really looks pretty drab to me. I would prefer this over the white stuff though.

@marilyn Bayshore is a very nice area. I live in West Bend which is 20 miles north of Milwaukee. This river is VERY close to my house - I can walk there to take the shot. Thank you for the comment!

@bruni Thank you SO MUCH! I really appreciate it!
December 24th, 2011  
Kathy, I'd like to pin this one, too, if it's okay with you! Let me know!
December 28th, 2011  
Sure that would be fine
