Canon PowerShot SX260 HS; 1/800s, f/4.0, ISO 100, focal length 5.8mm; AUTO setting; Straight from the camera except for a little color saturation

This decaying siding of an old boat reminds me of a beach landscape on a sunny day. Closeup photo taken at the Cedar Key Museum State Park in Cedar Key, Florida, USA. The boat is the Miss Clarabelle.

Having lived most of my life in the northeast U.S., I am enjoying retired life in sunny Florida. I enjoy photographing many different kinds of things, but especially flowers and animals, including the beautiful birds found here in Florida. I am currently using a Canon EOS Rebel XSi/450D camera, a Canon 55-250 mm telescopic zoom lens, and a Sony P10 Cyber-shot digital camera. My newest acquisition is a Canon PowerShot SX260 HS, a point and shoot which I will be carrying in my purse.

    You Know Dot,,,at first thought you would not think an old boat would have such pretty colors but just look at this. The colors are so pretty and with an artistic look.

  • Thanks so much, Rick. I could have stood there all day shooting the little scenes in that old boat. This one in particular had so many different colors, it appealed to me. I can see it blown up big on a wall in a loft apartment somewhere in a city.
