A Bit Choppy

It has been a sunny day today, but the wind has been quite strong. The ocean in the bay is usually calm, but driving past the foreshore this afternoon I noticed the boats bobbing on the water like apples in a barrel.

Beautifully captured and niiciely described, Babs! FAV

"apples in a barrel", I learned a new say. Making cider?

[Martina]

Pretty scene...

[Paul]

A beautiful looking bay even gin it does look choppy 😉

[Peter Day]

How do apples bob in a barrel

[Jenfurj]

Great capture and you can feel the movement of the water and boats.

[Nicole Campbell]

It does look very choppy - I am not a big fan of boats and water so I wouldn't enjoy being out in this today.

[leggzy]

Wonderful capture of the bay. It was a bit breezy here today too...and rather chilly!

[Valerie Chesney]

Wonderful capture of the choppy waves & rocking boats....

[Beryl Lloyd]

So many pops of white in the choppy sea -- great shot !

[Peter]

Lovely seascape in wonderful colour Babs, I can almost feel the breeze from here, lol:)

[Annie D]

Very choppy Babs

[Babs]

@peterday Have you never done apple bobbing at Halloween Peter. It is great fun.

[sally agnew]

Love the little white caps, think I need an ocean fix :)

[Richard Brown]

Nice shot it must be nice to live near the sea I'm rather land locked :)

[tony gig]

Great day for a sail Im thinking.

[Kahsia]

Wow that looks really choppy Gabs. Lovely shot.

[Hazel]

[mittens (Marilyn)]

[KWind]

Those boats are getting rocked a bit! Nice capture!

[gloria jones]

Great capture of the choppy water

[Margaret Brown]

Great choppy seas, lovely capture

[Pyrrhula]

Great shot showing the big wind blast and the nice view on the water and coast.

[Taffy]

Great action capture because of the waves -- really conveys a windy day well.

[Sally Ings]

It doesn't look like it would be very pleasant to be out on the water.

[Pat Knowles]

Fresh & exhilarating! Too rough for me!

[Dawn]

Cool image

[Helen Jane]

You give a very graphic picture of these bobbing boats. I can feel the cold too.

[ChristineL]

Plenty of white horses in the bay, those boats are definitely bobbing! Great shot.

[Margo Sayer]

A strong breeze +sunshine = enhanced tan. We should all be out there!

[Marnie]

OMG, I feel squiffy just looking at this shot. I'm not much of a sailor.

[Pam]

Nice photo. I like how you caught the choppy ness of the water.

[Jane Pittenger]

Wow. Lots of chop. I like the chop in the waves followed by the boats obviously stirred up

[Babs]

@yaorenliu Apple bobbing is a game usually played at Halloween. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vf0ZdPJGr1U

[Stephanie]

Nice capture Babs, I like the sense of motion in those splashy waves and I can imagine the boats jostling up and down on them.

[Rachel]

I'd get as sick as anything out there. Very rough.

[Babs]

@thistle Thanks Joyce. I love how your predictive text always calls me Gabs!

[Babs]

@888rachel Usually this side of the bay is very sheltered and calm normally. It is the Fingal Bay (ocean side) of the bay where the big waves are, but the wind was very fierce this particular day.

[Kathy A]

Great capture, its been very choppy all along the coast this week

[Jane Morley]

You've certainly captured the mood.
