The Docks Daily Cap(s) (319)

Picked up my FugiFilm FinePix S4000 “drive-by shooter” camera on the way out the door this morning, and discovered a beautifully calm, sunny morning…so my work commute took the lake route.

Our local 70-year-old Lavekview Marina (I love the obviousness in the name) serves many a boaters and fishermen…I’m just glad they waited till after I left this morning to stir up the water.

The Apparently Summers Here Daily Cap(s) (106)

 

Nothing like having a fun, friendly family soccer game during the Sunday afternoon picnic outing...except for the one guy who looks a bit chapped about something...or maybe he's just cutting through.

...and the little girl could care less about some silly old game of kicking a ball around...she's got some orange shoes that deserve her undivided attention right now...that, and a cool refreshing soda.

a family jet ski outing...

The size of your boat really doesn't matter, nor the way it moves across the water...

...Just as long as the dang thing floats!

Wonder what the investment in this guy's fishing pole is....

...this guy has his investments under control...all you need is one pole with a bobber (and a pair of chest waders comes in handy at times)

...but these guys, holy cow...another one of those "family that fishes together" sort of gatherings - I have a gut feeling their pole-investment is not the priority here...

Now this, I'm all for: get cha a small Zebco pole from the local discounter and give it a heave-ho sidearm cast...and I bet this kiddo is full of questions

Show off...

Seriously?

OK, you're good...enough of you and your fancy water skiing..'Hey Buddy! It's only April. It's supposed to still be a bit chilly out here on the lake. Grab a towel"

And so the kid has to show me a trick or two as well...

Does it get any better than a kid's dog anxiously waiting and proudly watching from the dock? I think not. This is good stuff...

 

The 88˚ and Sun(day) Daily Cap(s) (92)

88˚ and Sun(day)...and pushing the limits of your boundaries

88˚ and Sun(day)...and Indian Paintbrush responding....

88˚ and Sun(day)...and big boats and catching a few rays where you can

88˚ and Sun(day)...and half nakedness on boats partying on the lake (and for a reason that only beer and sunshine could probably explain, the one guy in the red cap has a toy gun holstered to his leg)

88˚ and Sun(day)...and that probably has little to do with this Superman casting technique

88˚ and Sun(day)...and my backyard Sour Cherry Tree in bloom

88˚and Sun(day)...one week from Easter, and the Royal Scotties are still fashionably wearing black
