Red boats by happypat

Red boats

Lake Windermere was looking at its best yesterday, a lovely day with blue skies & the trees just beginning to turn.
Loved the row of red boats lined up, I have never seen them before, something red is always a bonus I reckon!!

Three good things:
1. Friendship......been out to lunch with the 'girls'.
2. A telephone call from our absent friend from the top of the London Eye....she was sipping champagne too!
3. A really good nights sleep, I never woke once!
Sleep. That is wonderful pat. I could do with a good night. Love this shot. And the red. Love red. Looks beautiful.

Such lovely colours. You can't beat varnished wood.

Great shot .. and always a bonus to get red in a shot.. Have heard about this lake seems to be one of those 'must see's' I'll put it on the bucket list..

A lovely shot - I like the red too, but I really love the varnished boats in the foreground - they look a work of art.

They look like rentals - maybe little motorboats to zoom around this beautiful lake! Lovely calm water.

Thank you all so much...I have been catching up all night, didn't realise til I scrolled down how many of your shots I have missed over the last couple of days!! How fast one can soon get complete,y out of the loop!
Much obliged that you still commented on mine!

Beautiful, just so beautiful but I may have to unfollow you due to GT3! What is sleep

@claireuk oh dear you too Claire? I am a very erratic sleeper these days....was up til 3.30am the night before but last night slept all through....might not be the same tonight though. It's amazing I find if I comment on a photo in the night someone will answer me back straight away.....it's very comforting 'talking' to someone in another country in the middle of the night! Sorry you are awake too. Must be an age thing, I have stopped worrying about it, come downstairs, have a cup of tea & read. If I'm tired next day so be it!

@happypat Yeah, I tend to do similar, drives the cat mad as I don't let her out of the conservatory where she sleeps. I then take the tea and play Sudoku, until tired

I agree with the red but the whole picture is gorgeous

A beautiful shot, of a beautiful place!

an iconic location and the reds really are lovely Pat

Looks as romantic as it sounds. The red boats are perfect … just as you need a yellow spot for a garden, you need a red spot for a cracking good waterscape.

Beautiful composition and the red boats really stand out!

What a beautiful looking lake

This photo gives me the feeling that there is a bit of chill in the air. It looks beautiful

I slept like a log last night - Nigel away & Adam away and I was well away!! Such a lovely scene. It will be at it's peak in a couple of weeks I imagine - I remember going one October half term with mum and dad and the views from Hawkshead were amazing.

lovely shot

Great composition with those boats all lined up ready to sail on the lake. The red really pops out and the wooden boats too. They look inviting. Nice light everywhere.

Love this shot, so colourful and excellent composition. Every time I have been to Lake Windermere it has rained so lovely to see the sun shining.

I love those warm-varnished lakeland rowboats. Make me think of Arthur Ransome.

Unmistakable scene, love that light.
