Paddle Boarders on Rivo Alto Canal

Long Beach, California

I have been away from taking photos. Experiencing the woes of planned obsolescence of appliances. In my case, the refrigerator.
I took time to go back to the canals in Naples, Long Beach and enjoy the Christmas decorations again this year.
The weather has been very mild and this is the first time in all the years I've been going there that I've seen paddle boarders.
We stood on one of the bridges and, as they came by, asked them if they worried about falling into the water!
There are boats you can hire to ride around the canals in and enjoy a glass of wine while you view the lights. At my age, that is what I would opt to do.

What a wonderful place to do that. It's not so hard when the water is calm. (in my 60s)

The time of day with half light makes this look extra relaxing...Merry Christmas to you Charlene

Great image and beautiful Christmas lights. I did fall into the water when paddling last summer, it happened so fast. Luckily I did not lose my sunglasses :-) V

the boarders add such colour and life...safe enough to paddle so close to shore..
