Blue Boat at Low Tide in the Rain

I was up with dawn, anxious to see what wonders I could capture along the shore of the Kenmare River.

We were staying at the Blue Merles B&B, a wonderful little place on Ireland's Beara Peninsula looking down on Dinish Island, and I was enchanted by the possibilities.

I shot despite the rain, and you can see the evidence of that in this shot.

Low tide had sucked the river to the sea, and I was enjoying the morning as the sun fought to peak through.

"Never pass up a picture of a blue boat," I told Marti. And I didn't.
