Skimmers

These lads were skimming stones on the other side of the lake. It's a skill I've never mastered...so it was a delight to see them choosing their stones, putting their bodies in the right pose and then the denouement. The flat stone can hardly be seen leaving the hand before you see it skimming along the water. Wonderful, a glimpse of simple things continuing to give pleasure at no cost. Society needs more of this and less, much less consumerism.

On black, of course.

I agree - but someone must teach them what to do - up to the parents! Great reflections here!

Love that splash!

Something I haven't done in years - I'm so glad that kids are still enjoying simple pleasures... as long as they're not digging up the path to find flat stones of course!

Sometimes I can bes successful and other times not so much. Wonderful capture

I used to love skimming stoners when I was a child. Must give it a go again now I am in my second childhood.

Great composition and reflections

The classics really never go out of style, sometimes neglected but surface now and then. It warms my heart to know this is still practiced.

I certainly agree - great simple fun outdoors is best!

I was fortunate...only took 3 shots to get a splash. Much harder to to judge the moment from the opposite bank.

Love skimming stones on a lake! Only, the last time we were playing, a girl friend of my daughter's aimed very wrong and skimmed the stone straight on my forehead...

Ouch! ...and this is the justification/reason for your aberrant behaviour with works of art et alia ever since;-)
