Even while sitting still in the flatboat on the open water waiting for the right moment, sweat was pouring down my face. It was 99 degrees and not a breeze. Thankfully there were no mosquitoes I wounded my Canon Powershot G5, one of my favorites, on this trip. It is at the Canon hospital. I shot this with a Canon 40 D but I still get better photos with my G5. Sorry all of you camera experts, it is not the camera but the person behind the camera.

Your description reminds me of the movie "The Long Hot Summer based on William Faulkner's The Hamlet. I can see you fanning yourself as you waited for the right moment to get your shot.
I am sure you took several of the sunset. The one you chose to post is really good Colleen. Simple and beautiful

The Canon hospital does wonders. Moe is living proof. You are right about the person behind the camera. The person that took this one is really good. Nice post.

I love it Coleen, the golden ripples in the water, the beautiful sky. It was worth the 99 degrees and no breeze! I'm glad you didn't have a kid with you yelling "I gotta go potty now!" that's always a bummer of a missed shot. Great work and thanks it makes a great desk top.
