Down through the meadow scattered with snowdrops and daffodils
you will find Ratty's Lake and of course dragged up neatly on the
mound at the far side amid clumps of wild iris and bullrushes ... is Ratty's Boat.

half so much worth doing
as simply messing about in boats"

Well spotted Dianne and just the right shape to be parked under the willows.
A very pleasant place, with so natural and beautiful colors!
beautiful, calm & cool shots. (:
a little bit of Wind in the Willows happening; beautiful....happy days
Nice quaint feeling in these images-but did you forget the quote about a boat being a hole in the sea you pour money into? : )
Maybe Ratty's is small and doesn't cost so much. happy weekend to you
Beautiful reflections and I love Ratty's boat! Wonderful captures for the day, Dianne! Enjoy your weekend!

Nice coloring for a boat with all its imperfections. Lovely setting for the boat.
A boat on a lake or a river certainly brings a laugh and a smile. I'm with you Dianne.
Hi there - and ti add another Wind in the Willows quote
"Glorious, stirring sight! The poetry of motion! The real way to travel! The only way to travel!"

too cold to go in the boat?
I beg to differ - it's possibly even greater fun to watch people messing about in boats!!!
Oh I half expected to see Toad screaming by on his motorcycle, scarf flying out behind him Dianne! Love this post, love Wind in the Willows.
So very English.
I love the Wind in the Willows, my favourite childhood book and now I have the audiobook too.
