Paddle Boats on Lake

As I selected this photo I was thinking that over the last week I’ve posted photos perhaps reminiscent of Norman Rockwell type scenes of American everyday life:

  • Friends or family on paddle boats on the lake – this post;
  • A family on a carousel ride in a park – Weekend Photo;
  • A young child playing in a fountain – In the moment; and
  • A family relaxing along a lake shore – Play.

I could envision Norman Rockwell illustrations of similar scenes.

It’s easy in this hectic day to lose sight of this part of America life–although it’s getting harder to find.

Perhaps it’s a good reason, as Paul says, to “Stop and take a look.”
