V/Alphabe-Thursday

Vehicles: boats on the Trent-Severn Canal

V is for VEHICLES

For sure, all three photos in this set are from my archives. Today I need some colour!

Cars and trucks are the obvious vehicles we all use, but this post will feature three others.

The Trent-Severn Waterway isn't open yet this year but will be next month.

Vehicle: bike

Some people are out on their bikes now but not as many as there will be once the  temperature warms up.

Vehicle: wheelbarrow

And only a few wheelbarrows have been out working yet...but many will be out this week.

    Three different types of transport, two for fun, the other for work.

    Great choices for vehicles. It's amazing the number of bicycles and motorcycles that are out already. The boats are still 'tied up' in back yards for now waiting for the high water to go down.

    Like your original take on vehicles. The bike and the wheelbarrow are in use at our place presently.

    Great trio of photographs. That third one flashed me back to Raindrops are Falling on my head in the old Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid movie.

    I went bike riding last year for the first time in 20 years. I hadn't exactly forgotten, but I had to go very slow:)

    What a neat challenge. I wouldn't have thought of a wheelbarrow for vehicle. Very creative. Kudos to you.

    I quite like thinking of a wheelbarrow as a vehicle. Imagine the wild wheelies one could do. ;)

    Pretty boats, Ms. T.G. ~~ How do you suppose the get climbed over the wall where they are tying up?

    The wheel barrow is my choice of your photos today.

    3 great, unexpected vehicles!
    I love riding my bike, but it's for fun and exercise, not transportation.
    Here' to the hopefully-soon-to-be-here warmer weather!

    I'm with you on missing color. I hope you get some springtime weather and color soon. I made a pilgrimage this week to a tulip festival here in Washington state. It felt like I'd fallen onto an artist's palette. Spring in technicolor! Heaven!

    Oh how clever these vehicles are! I need to get a bike and ride into the warmer weather! we are struggling with the effects of icy and snowy weather. Still dreaming about Spring! Enjoy your lovely weather and the weekend too!
