Fine shot Judy. I like the angle and texture of the rope and wood. And those tiny blooms in the grass that the bees love brings back memories. We don't have those in Florida.

@Barbara: I think that's clover blossoming and you're right; we don't see that down here.
Thanks, Barb.
Michael Skorulski from Cigel, Slovakia
A wonderful composition, Judy. The textures of rope and wood are super and contrast well with the grassy background. So pleasing.

@Michael Skorulski: Thank you, Michael. That strong hawser really 'spoke to me'.
Viewfinder from Bradenton, United States
This scene is universal/coastal in its appeal. The Hawser in NJ and the Hawser in FL are the same; but as Barb noted, the clover does suggest a non-Florida location. I like the composition, Judy. The lightine, textures and tones of the post and rope are very fine.

@Viewfinder: Yes, the Hawsers are the same and speak boldly of shore and boats! You're right; the clover gives it away.
Thank you for your comment.
@Sof: Thank you very much!
Lorraine from Canada
It does have a wonderful nautical feel to any place, I really enjoy little touches such as this, great find Judy :)

@Lorraine: Thanks, Lorraine, I agree. I wish our area here in FL would have more of these touches!
Betty from New Jersey, United States
The clover highlights the rope very nicely. Great composition, Judy. Well done!

@Betty: Thank you, Betty.
Japanalia from Yokohama, Japan
This looks much more like a rope than a hawser, and a beautifully turned one! The background embellishes the shot!

@Japanalia: I don't know internationally, but here in the U.S., this very heavy rope is called a hawser in nautical terms. It's far too heavy except for the very strong longshoremen working dockside, to handle.

@tyan: Thank you so much, both for your comment ... and for recognizing that you are 'only human'. ;D ... Ian & Caleb need a Mommy for those "cliff hanger" moments in their lives, not a "superwoman". Warm hugs, my friend!

Jerry from Tampa, United States
Excellent details and texture Judy! I hope you are not getting too wet!!!!
22 Aug 2008 5:02pm
@Jerry: Thanks, Jerry, on both counts. We've had slightly more than 2" in the past three days and a little wind. There's flooding out near the coast, but we're a dozen miles inland.
Chris from South Jersey, United States

Such a great strong composition Judy. I love how the white rope seems to draw attention to the little white flowers in the grass. Lovely shot

Ina from Krugersdorp, South Africa
