from the outside looking in

last year i wanted to take this photo but couldn't quite get the effect i wanted, plus it was windy and the leaves won't stay still. fast forward to today, same crappy weather but no wind. the leaves aren't as red as last year's but this would do.

i was at the marina today watching the boats being lifted off the water and setting them on their individual racks. it was quite fascinating to see a boat in mid-air. a small boat takes about five minutes to get harnessed then lifted and set on its rack. seven to eight for bigger ones. i've watched about eight boats lifted off the marina and when i realized i should be taking photos, my phone rang and partner was a few metres away to pick me up. drat!

-o0o-

thank you, folks, for your views and visits; i do appreciate your kindness.
i really like this one...am just confused about the layering....it must be some kind of fancy editing thing..?...lol - - you know i'm old school sooc. i love the juxtaposition of nature and man-made - - this one is great!

@sticksandstones - there's no layering here. in fact no processing at all on the photo but i did add the mirror frame, just because. thank you, kiddo!

Wow, 944 photos. ... I hope this is at least a slight challenge for you. I challenge you to show the "fall season of life".

Very pretty! The red looks great against the black (ish) fence.

There's that cool frame again. I couldn't find anything like that on picmonkey. Pretty red leaves against the chain link.
