Yard Art

 We live right by a couple of rivers, so kayaking is real big here. There are a lot of places around that sell them, and you see them driving by people's yards and garages. I think they make a bright and colorful yard decoration!




This one has a propeller on the end!










Hanging from the ceiling!

And this one was so hidden that I almost missed it. But on second look, I think it is a regular boat.


“If you want to feel tiny, paddle out to the middle of a lake. You'll be reminded just how small you are in this big old world.”

 

“Nothing but the sounds of nature and the kayak hitting the water. Overwhelmingly peaceful.”

They are colorful. I like the green and orange ones together. Isn't the one with the propeller kind of cheating?

they make colorful decorations but as for getting in one, not in this life. they are every where here also. we are surrounded by water and lakes and gulf and swamps. even walmarts have stacks of them outside the store. and people make a living by pulling 12 of them on a flat bed and renting them out at the rivers and swamps. they park and rent them out

You certainly have many colorful kayaks in your neighborhood.

Several of my family members have owned kayaks but they don't really kayak a whole lot. Not being particularly outdoorsy I don't spend a lot of time thinking about it, but maybe I should ask why the kayaks are gathering dust, haaahaha xoxo

So colorful. I have many friends who love to kayak. I haven't ever done one. I have been canoeing and that was "tippy" enough for me.

You certainly found lots of different colored kayaks! Not being a good swimmer, it's not something I've ever done.

You found quite a lot of kayaks.
We enjoy kayaking and put ours in the back of the pickup truck when transporting them.
I have a pink one and Ken's is yellow.

Those kayaks are fun. I only went in one once and I think that will be my last time.

Sunday Sunset

 I snapped these from the Target parking lot. The sun had just gone down, but the trees were hiding the very bottom part of the sunset. Life...
