Macro Monday


Any idea the subject of the above pic?







Here is another pic.





And, to likely confuse you even more, here is another obtuse hint.










It is the attempt at a World Record: The Suttons Bay Floatilla!







On Saturday, September 1, our village attempted the world record and raised funds for our schools at the same time. The current record is 1,902 kayaks and canoes floating together as a single raft--paddles up--for 30 seconds or more. Click here to see info on the current record and here to see a great shot of it from National Geographic.

We do NOT know yet if we beat the record. We are expecting it to be close. The officials have to count via zoomed aerial photos (hence the photographer in the plane!) each and every craft. We hope to know within the next week or so and we'll blog more pix with the results. 

It was a very fun, crazy day in our town, but we just . . . went with the "flow."

  1. Beautiful photos of the floatilla! I love that first one, especially. My daughters and I were on the shore and it was hard to see what it really looked like up close. You really captured it!
