"It's not far down to paradise

At least it's not for me

And if the wind is right you can sail away

And find tranquility

The canvas can do miracles

Just you wait and see

Believe me"

Lyrics by Christopher Cross

Since he's going to be in a far away land while the rest of us are freezing up north, I thought I'd dedicate this to Nigel...Happy Holidays!!!

I love it I love it! As if the avies weren't enough PJ - you've given me a boat to hop on - although I wouldn't want to go very far if the surroundings were this gorgeous. Did you know that boats were my favourite subject? This one has everything, the sense of calm and isolation, the blues and the lilting horizon. And as if by magic you chanced on one of my favourite singers too - Ride Like the Wind was my all-time favourite of his. I think you must have psychic powers as well as all the fairy dust you spread around. Thank you so much PJ.

Thanks to all my friends for the wonderful images I get to look at and learn from on Caedes every day. I always have something to say about them, but don't always have the time to record it. Please forgive me if I can't comment on all of your uploads.

Excellent PJ. I really like the splattering of weeds and a cattail in the foreground. Totally relaxing scene. I have a feeling relaxing is not in Nigel's plans. Hope he can keep camera and himself in focul. lol. The blues of sky and water are terrific. Great reflection. This will do good. Cows can't swim very well. Merry Holidays.

The harbor bay was clear as glass,
So smoothly it was strewn!
And on the bay the moonlight lay,
And the shadow of the moon.
