en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seaplane - bright yellow against a canvas of blue - many lakes nearby for landing - several were seen - caught this one for you (c) All Rights Reserved - put photo through PicMonkey from hard drive; was on Flickr, but EXIF was stripped. Photo was edited; cropped into a circle; corners rounded in Frames; watermark added. Any ideas why the EXIF was removed? Did go through the 'new PicMonkey editor..
