Lovely, peaceful captures for the day (days)! And in the world today, we need all of those we can get! Hope you and Lindy and Richard have a great weekend!

Almost looks like the shore along Powell Lake. - Margy
These waterways must have been so interesting to travel! Beautiful views!
You caught some beautiful light on that channel marker. I want to visit this area very much. Thanks for a little "sneak peak".
Lovely river scenes, Kay! Very nice light on the trees :-)
Looks very peaceful and quite. ^_^
Scavenger Hunt
Terrific shots, I would have loved to have paddled into that cove.
Trees along the water's edge always comfort me. I feel the tension leaving now...
Kay,
Serene and undisturbed. Rarely seen unless one looks for it. Otherwise the polluted, the clogged up and even the crocodile infested ones are common in many parts of the globe! You must have enjoyed very much your sojourn in Russia. A pictorial essay book or coffee table book might follow in the near future. Given you and your family's expertise in the publication and printing line it would be easy!
Thanks for sharing!

That looks like a peaceful leg of your cruise. I think I would enjoy that after spending time in the city.
Mysterious cove! Looks like someone (or thing) could be hiding in there. My reflection is actually a birdbath shaped like a leaf.
so soothing and calming, it's hard to find such in malaysia. sigh...
What a beautiful day and a beautiful place!
Looks very peaceful and green !
What a beautiful scene, it looks so peaceful. I would like to take a canoe out on that lake.
That is such a peaceful looking spot, so calm and serene.
enjoyed seeing a snippet of your travels; lovely photography Kay
I love the contrast between the blue water and green trees. Two moments well captured.

Pretty!
That cove is well hidden, a perfect place to hide treasure - well if it were in the Bahamas anyway! I would imagine that the winter would have a layer of ice on the Volga. Soft shadows on a warm day in an often cold place!
Great shots - lovely places to visit!
lots of lovely autumnal shots this week...lovely
Kay those trees look so green and lush .. beautiful the way the shadow cuts right into the stand of them .. I had just seen a show on the wild life that has returned in the Chernobyl area .. tracking wolves etc .. it is amazing what nature can accomplish after man made disasters ?
Joy : )
OH, my...yes, so beautiful! I found myself wondering if there ever were trees floated down that river for the sake of making violins.
Have no idea why that thought popped in to my head!
the second shot made me think of the TV show Lost
who knows what's beyond the shadows!! :)
what a peaceful shot this is. now paula has me thinking about violins. happy sss.
That little cove looks like the perfect place to get away from it all!
SHADOW, SHADOW
Shadow, shadow drawing near,
You are all alone, I fear;
Let me be your new-found friend—
I’ll stick with you to the end!

That is a shadowy cove and it beckons me! Its still so hot here... a watery shadowy cove sounds like a lovely place to read in the afternoon...
That first shot is so calming!
Once again Kay,you gave us some really cool ShadowShots to enjoy! have a good week.
Why is there so much green and blue in nature? It's beautiful; that's why. Beautiful pictures, Kay.
The lighting and coloring are fabulous! I can imagine it must have been very peaceful to sit out on the deck and watch the lovely scenery pass by.
