What was he going to do with that ramshackle thing? Looks like he's on a mission. Good weekend wishes to you and Mr. Cat!! Keeping cozy, I hope. We're just doin' one day at a time in baby steps.
Oh I do so love this one. Red is my favorite color now. I hope you are having fun wherever you are! We are all right here and happy as can be with the offerings you've left us! V
We have a romantic story in Russia, about the girl waiting for her prince for years. He could not stay unnoticed, he had to arrive on beautiful ship with scarlet sails. Looks like the girl got her prince at last :-)
Oh, BC, this is timeless! The image could be included as one of the Mysteries of Harris Burdick, a picture book by Chris Van Allsburg. Is that milk he is delivering or something more magical and mysterious?
This is a wonderful picture. The ice sail boat has a home made look to it but looks very capable of navigating on the ice. The sail can be tacked from one side to the other and there is a tiller on the rear blade so it can be steered. The boy looks like he knows what he was doing, and the big (milk?) can says maybe he is working. The deep red sail makes this a very compelling picture. A real keeper.
I've never tried ice sailing but I've seen a lot of these kinds of craft on lakes in Minnesota and Wisconsin. It always looked like a lot of fun...unless, of course, you run into a patch of thin ice.
That color will ensure that others out there see him for sure!

Handsome photo of a boy with his boat! Looks like there's quite a story to go with the picture...
Beautiful shot.
I've watched ice boaters on lakes in the Midwest. Exciting. The red sail definitely gives a bright focal point.

I love all the homemade elements of his boat, and, like Leif, I think there's a story to go with this picture.
This makes a beautiful portrait!
This is a great scene. I wonder what the functionality is of the milk can. Ballast to stabilize the ice boat/sled? Something to hold on to ?

Wow! Never saw images of Huck in winter!
Just love that bold red sail, but I am happy I have the pleasure of viewing and not lugging it around.
He is a brave and strong boy! Also cute!This picture reminds me those posts about sugary, fabulous series!

Obviously not tie and dye, just dye! Marvellous shot!
This picture reminds me my childhood.

Stunning picture. It reminds me of a scene in Holland.

That is so cool! I wonder if he's tried sailing on it.

Amazing photo, amazing red sail, darling boy, and such an interesting boat. Gorgeous.
This is really great! Does the sail work?
This is SO fantastic! What a shot!
yes, it's a very narrative shot. Like the red/snow mix!
