Beautiful day for a row…

I like how the ripples and the trees framed the clouds.

How serene!

[Maggiemae]

Well set up for that neat wave! fav

[Jane Anderson]

Very pretty! I liked the video too. Were you alone?

[Thom Mitchell]

@alophoto It's one of the things that sets apart this particular fitness pursuit!

[Thom Mitchell]

@janeandcharlie Thanks for watching the video. The back end of that is hoisting it out of the water and getting it to the cartop again … after having done a tiring workout. Yes, my last several rows have been alone. See @alophoto 's comment above!

[Thom Mitchell]

@maggiemae Thanks, Maggie! And nice profile photo!

[Rachel]

I'm trying to work out how you rowed and took a photo at the same time. This looks so peaceful, and a lovely calm spot for a row.

Beautiful

Wow! Love how still the water is. Great shot of the oar (paddle?) in the water.

[Thom Mitchell]

@888rachel Oh, my, but I don't! Because one can never-ever let go of the oars! Photo procedure:
1. Stop rowing.
2. Tuck the oar handles under my arms; now the hands are free.
3. Grab camera & shoot, while keeping oars tucked under arms.
If one doesn't have the oars secured? It's "swim time"!

[Thom Mitchell]

@thewatersphotos Not sure of the difference between an "oar" and a "paddle," but these are considered oars. (Both canoeing and kayaking have paddles, so it's not the number of blades. Perhaps "oars" go into oar locks and "paddles" do not? I'll go with that for now!
