Im not sure I want to be left in the middle?

Captured this strange little digger on a raft that was being left afloat in the middle of the river,  didnt seem very safe for the poor digger.



Taken with the Mini 3 Pro.

Thanks Mr B,  this one is for DT as he was curious about the digger in another thread.

thanks Mr B,   when it first got moved here I wondered if it was going to shred the wrecks,  but alas not.

I'm sure he'll be along to comment when the time difference unfolds

Strikes me the entire estuary would benefit from a good clear-up operation, judging by your numerous posts.

Great shots DA.    It doesn't appear that the digger is very big but still the weight of that digger shifting around on the barge it is mounted on does appear a bit unsafe.  Just an initial observation.  

Also, I'm not a fan of leaving it moored in the middle of the river.  I guess boat traffic must be really light in that particular area or somebody just doesn't care.  

Another cool shot of the Lady Emmz.  

Brilliant shots! Perfectly timed photos, DA. Thanks for sharing this with us.

You caught me as I slept in a bit this AM.  The water was ever so gently rocking the boat and I slept very sound and didn't get up at my usual time.  Did get up fully rested though.  Took a 3 mile hike around the perimeter of my property before the heat sets in for the day, had breakfast and now checking out the forum.

Sounds like the perfect Sunday

So far so good.  Time to head off to church now and then go check out that guy's Mini 3 that he is willing to trade for a Mini 2.

Have a nice day and I'll check in later....but it may be well past your turn in time (in lieu of the time differences between UK and US).

Great shot DA, Lady Emmz looks like really cool boat.

Cool shot

Some of those wrecks are quite historic Im not sure Id want them removed too soon.

Its a tiny digger really,   but it seems like it would be a bit top heavy.

They're a bit unsightly though - or do you see them as a photographic opportunity?

Im sure he will be Mr B,  he normally is .

Im always looking for compositions.

That reminds me of School homework in English

Not that sort of composition Mr B.

I caught up and saw that.

Thank goodness for that

Just nipped to the loca cafe between ( and in) showers.  Underwhelming compared to our usual haunt.

Yeah, I knew the time zone difference but I just didn't know what time I would get back from church, running errands and check out the Mini 3.  Anyway, I got back to the boat about 6:30 PM EST so I have no doubt you were asleep at that time.

And a several other times during the day/evening

Yeah, I saw it was small but they do tend to be a bit top heavy and I wasn't too sure about the buoyancy of the barge it is on.

Nothing wrong with a siesta.  We used to call those battle naps in the Navy.

My only battle these days is with my eyelids - and they often win

Curious,  what you call a barge I call a raft.   I must check my definitions.

thats a shame,   but I guess if it was good you'd spend too much time there,.    Popped out for a walk in the afternoon and it was glorious sun,  until the heavens opened and we both got completely soaked,   SHMBO'd was not impressed.  Especially when I started laughing about it.

Blériot53 Posted at 6-27 03:50
Thank goodness for that

And they never let me loose with an instrument either.

They probably perceived that your talents lay elsewhere
Or that youre tone deaf
