As I sit here enjoying the fall colors that finally made it to Sacramento, I am now reflecting on the summer….but only because I am combining two photo challenges for today’s blog post.
I live close to the Sacramento State Aquatic Center and am delighted to go there often, whether I am stand-up paddling, visiting on a long bike ride, or enjoying a field trip with my university students. Nothing says summer more than the reflections of kayaks and sailboats ready for some water time.
This photo is being submitted for Julia’s My Red Page, Camera Lucida: Reflections.
AND for Jennifer Nichole Wells’ One Word Photo Challenge: summer
Join either or both of these photo challenges any time!
I love the contrast of the bright red kayaks against the dark water. Also love how the water is so calm it reflects the sky. I could get used to paddling there!

Great photo for reflections and summer, especially with the stacked kayaks, sailboat masts, and trees in the water.

The blue is beautiful and then the pop of red catches our eyes.

Funny how we both added the pop of red!

Thank you, Cathy, Sacramento is really a lovely place. I am a transplant from my home town, San Diego, and many ask me why I moved from there. Close to the mountains and the seasons 🙂
