Day’s End

Posted on February 27, 2014 by Mike

A small fishing boat in Mazatlan, Mexico, completes a hard day at sea. They unloaded buckets of fresh fish which were quickly bought by local merchants and restaurants.

    Things are good. There’s talk of marriage. *whispers* It’s a badly kept secret though. Other than that, it’s chilly as hell here. Temps plummeted again.

A beautiful shot, Mike. Seems such a tiny boat to take out to sea.

  That’s what I was thinking too. But that is what many boats look like with hard working men trying to make a few dollars to feed their families.

Mike I love the reflection of the cloud in the water. Seems an intimidating presence over the wee boat. Lovely image.

  Thanks Sue. I am drawn to water in a big way. And here I am living in a large dry state (which of course is lovely in it’s own right)

I wanted to comment about the size of the boat and see that I am not the only one to think it seems small to be going out to sea. Bet that fresh fish was yummy!

  I would be very reluctant to be on that small boat, especially with 4 or 5 other guys.

Another blog I must follow. I feel like I have fallen into Photography Heaven lately. Your work is fantastic! I am pushing the follow button. If I only had the time to really sit down with some of whose blogs I am following to ask questions… I am on this huge learning curve, teaching myself, and in looking what others are doing, I can “guess” how the photo was taken. But, to actually have a conversation over a cup of coffee… (sigh) Perhaps one day! Many Blessings, Amy

    Your photography is stunning. Like I said, I am on this huge learning curve, which in of itself is both overwhelming and a lot of fun. Today for example, I am going to go outside in this starkness that we have here (snow and more snow and bare branches), and try a technique I read about last night. Then I might play with photoshop. You have NO idea how badly I wish Spring was here!!
    
    I look forward in learning from you. And oh, about life beating you up, I understand, believe me. The older one gets the more difficult it seems to get to keep on standing strong. It is all in the attitude. And of course a determination not to give up the hold on life I do have. I am in my 50’s (past the mid point) and I am just NOW beginning to bring all I have learned in life together in realizing my dreams. I have not a clue where I am going, but darn it, I do above all, PLAY with my camera.
    
    xxoo, Amy

    Amy, life has not beaten me up. I have just grown tired of dealing with most of the BS, and have withdrawn to a certain extent.
