The State Commercial Fishing Pier—The Penultimate Place to Hear Fish Tales.
While those who fish commercially are more than willing to tell hair-raising and spine-tingling stories, they tend to be honest.
I'm fairly certain we all know where to find the ultimate place to hearoutright lies fishing tales in our respective 'hoods.

If you have a minute, check out the link-up over at Finagle A Foto. I'll be judging the photographs
Ahem, this might be a really good time for you participants to start kissing up to me.
Ooooh - I am very proficient at "kissy butting". Where do I sign up?
ReplyDeleteGreat photo. But they must all be really good at fish tales. I don't see any fish.
ReplyDeleteAs much as the boats "make up a good part" of the photo, I think what really stands out for me are the clouds, especially the red sky. As too usual for you, very nice composition and color.
ReplyDeletevery pretty! and i, for one, will miss your aversion rants about being in this photo challenge! :)
ReplyDeleteI love this kind of shot, with boats at a pier. It makes me happy!
ReplyDelete=)
I can smell the fishing pier now - that mixture of gasoline and sea water ...mmm...
ReplyDeleteThey rest on Sunday. When they're in port. Otherwise, they never sleep. Or so they tell me.
ReplyDeletehaha...a fish tale is a good one for entertainment for sure...and they do draw a tough lot out there on the water...hope you dont go away forever...smiles.
ReplyDeleteAhh, come on...you're not going to quit blogging! We'd all miss you terribly. Just think of all the fun you'd miss. :-)
ReplyDeleteNow see, it's photos like this that make me hate living in Colorado. I'm so jealous.
ReplyDeleteAnd I love your x-out comment about quitting blogging forever. This 30 Days challenge is really tiring.
what an absolutely beautiful photo.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm with you, I can't STAND crowds either.
Cheryl, you're a hoot.
ReplyDeleteThe name of one of your commenters reminded me of a boat my dad once called "Noname" because he and his fishing partner couldn't decide on a name.
As he was painting "Noname" on the boat, a young boy came by and asked, "What's that word?" and Dad answered, "It's Non-A-Me. It means 'boat that catch many fish'!"
Beautiful photo. I've always loved the sight of fishing boats at the dock.

It's being so close to this that makes it impossible to consider the possibility of retiring to the southwest. That's not today, tomorrow, or even in the near future but it's out there.
ReplyDeleteTiring? I'm completely dis-austed.
Well head on over and enter the dang fool contest. The other theme appears to be "Inner Geek." I don't understand the whole thing but I do like looking at other folk's work.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bryan. It was a tough shot to get. It was Sunday so everything was locked up tight and no matter where I shot from, I just couldn't get the line. I'm glad you found a focal point.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I, for one, will not miss posting daily. Ranting is my coping mechanism.
ReplyDeleteYou know, I knew that about you! You are such a harbor soul. I usually imagine you near water.
ReplyDeleteDead fish, seaweed, a hint of salt, and a dash of diesel. Aw, heaven.
ReplyDeleteIf I make it through (yes, I've reached the IF stage), I'd like to think I'll take some time but I know I'll be feeling at loose ends. Maybe I'll clean my house.
ReplyDeleteThe pressure to post daily is grueling, I tell ya. Grueling. (It's not a pace I want to continue, and yes, I would miss the fun.)
ReplyDeleteThanks Meleah.
ReplyDeleteNow I'm wondering what you've got up your sleeve for tomorrow.
There's something really quite peaceful to see them resting in port on a late Sunday evening.
ReplyDeleteYour story is hilarious! Did your dad let it go at that or did he tell the boy the real pronunciation?
What a great photo, it looks absolutely amazing. Your photo just makes me want to be there. :)
ReplyDeleteMy plan is to get you all so enchanted with my little corner of the world that you'll all come visit.
ReplyDeleteI lived for a few years in a coastal town and the fishing boats still have a place in my heart. Along with a couple of pubs, the odd stray dog or two and the wind...lovely picture.
ReplyDeleteThe very idea of being 'landlocked' gives me a case of the vapors.
ReplyDeleteHow picturesque... no pun intended, really. That's lovely. :-)
ReplyDeleteI can hardly concentrate on the beautiful photo after the line about quitting blogging forever! That was hysterical!
ReplyDeleteOh, we don't have to see the fish. With this wonderful photo, I can smell the fish! As usual, you inspire me to work harder.
ReplyDeleteTook me a whole minute to figure out where the pun was. My brain is at T-7 until implosion.
ReplyDeleteWait, you thought I was kidding?
ReplyDeleteYou're already ahead of the game, why would you need to work harder?
ReplyDeleteThey look like they're all lined up waiting for the starting gun!
ReplyDeleteI hate crowds of people - hot, noisy, jostling, obstructive, blinding and to be avoided like the plague (of which they are probably full), but there are other kinds of crowds...
I look forward to seeing your take on the theme!
What???? No kingfisher? Sheesh. Now that would be a bird to capture in flight, eh? Meh, I guess fishing boats will have to do. Heh, heh.
ReplyDeleteReally, a beautiful photo, Cheryl.
;-)
Twas a Sunday and the serenity was wonderful.
ReplyDeleteIf you're referring to the exotic one, hells yeah (but they'd never travel this far north). I don't think I've ever seen the ones that hang around up here. ::sigh::
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Which one can I have?
ReplyDeleteLOL, I'm always a sucker for taking pictures of fishing/lobster boats whenever I'm in a fishing/lobstering community! Is it the quaintness? The idea that a slice of Americana will disappear? Is it just a fascination with boats? Water? I don't know; but seeing a great shot like this is just about as good as being there and seeing it first hand :-)
ReplyDelete'Last Penny' looks pretty nice to me. I'll check with the Cap'n.
