There is a serene quality about an empty dock that is so inviting on a warm September afternoon. Normally, this dock is full of visitors preparing to stand-up paddle, kayak, hydro-bike, or sail. Earlier, there were hundreds of college and high school students rowing and practicing their canoeing for competition. A rare moment indeed to see this dock empty.
This is submitted for the weekly photo challenge Express Yourself.
Sacramento State University hosts the world-renown Aquatics Center dock at Lake Natoma below Folsom Lake. Here, you can express yourself with a new leisure pastime by renting all sorts of equipment or by learning a new water sport. There is nothing like a peaceful stand-up paddle session on a September Saturday morning.
Venture forth and express yourself with a fun leisure activity.

I want to step in one of those boats and drift out onto that brilliant blue!

Of course, I’d have to step “into” the boat before I stepped in it! (Oops.)

Thank you! I am very lucky. Funny that we drive one hour south every weekend in the summer to windsurf. Too bad there is no wind on the lake close to home!
