Rural backyard on a lake
I was out hunting for migrating ducks when I discovered a different kind of flying "bird." This is not one you find in many backyards, is it? Here it looks like it's hidden in the weeds but...
here you can see the reeds have been cut down so the float plane owner can escape before someone asks him/her to mow the lawn or take out the garbage.

That's one way to beat gridlock.
ReplyDeleteVery unusual bird indeed:)
ReplyDeleteAlways wanted to fly in a float plane and land on water:)
Great pictures!!
Thank you for your comment on my blog.
Your funny:)
ReplyDeleteLove the photos and your story is so funny:) B
It looks stuck in the first photo, glad to see it is positioned to go.

Nice! Someone has a great hide away, but can get back to civilization quickly when necessary.
ReplyDeleteOh nice find! It really is hidden in there.
ReplyDeleteHmmm ~ that would be a handy item to have ~ great photos and humor ~ (A Creative Harbor) ^_^
ReplyDeletea new view of a parking garage.. love it
ReplyDeleteMust be fun to ride in one of these.
ReplyDeletegotta love that!
ReplyDeleteNice and convenient for that quick getaway.
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted one of these float planes, but not likely I'll get one. We don't live on water. Never know what kind of bird you will find when you go looking for them.
ReplyDeleteI could park one of these in the canals...
ReplyDeleteNow that is one clever float plane owner - I've never seen one of these up close, love it! Very cool new 'bird' sighting:)
ReplyDeleteA handy thing that. Great sighting.
ReplyDeleteLucky people! I guess they get stored for the winter like boats.
ReplyDeleteNow that is living the life! :)
ReplyDeleteVery unusual bird; wonder if it flies south for the winter?
ReplyDeleteNeat pictures nice serendipity to stumble on that! -- we saw a couple of those over the Lake this summer; I don't know where they "live" though.
ReplyDeleteVery unique photos.
ReplyDeleteNice transportation!
ReplyDeleteThat would be an interesting hobby! And if you are on the lakeshore, then you have a built-in landing strip!!
ReplyDeleteThose are lovely photos. I remember being on a ferry going through the San Juan Islands and only a little ways off was a house with pier and at the end of the pier was a float plane. How neat to own your own float plane! I used to see them head out from Victoria all the time and never did have a ride on one, but maybe one day :)
ReplyDeleteThat's enough to throw ya. Very cool find.

You never know what kind of bird your are going to find. This was a fun one. I was fortunate to fly in two different float planes years ago. One was like this. The other was some kind of Army plane with room for 8 passengers. I got to sit in the cockpit with the pilot. it was awesome.
ReplyDeleteNice runway.
ReplyDeleteInteresting....wonder when he sneaked in? :)
ReplyDeleteThis is a very interesting -- and unique -- find. I like your photos.
ReplyDeleteThis is fantastic! Thanks so much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHope to see you on my blog:)
I like the first composition, interesting plane, looks like a movie scenery!
