Kayaks in the Snow- Vermont

I have to confess that this isn't one of my favorite photographs, but for some reason my friends and family always seem to gravitate to it and comment on it, so I figured I would post it and try to figure out what makes it appealing. Perhaps it is the burst of color on an otherwise gloomy/dark day? Perhaps it is the juxtaposition of the kayaks amidst the snow in wintertime? Or perhaps it is simply knowing these items won't be used for awhile, and instead of setting these objects aside, they are kept out for us to admire? Whatever the reason, I hope you like it, as it is indeed growing on me.
