Great shots, as always. I particularly like the second shot. The water splashing around her head looks like one of those silly water caps with flower-like detailing that you sometime see old ladies wear in swimming pools.

I hope the “not liquid” doesn’t deter you too much this winter…

Well, we are going to Florida a couple of times ;-)
Actually, in NYC the river hardly ever freezes any more. There are some floes drifting down the river from upstate, but usually it’s possible to paddle year round.
At the moment, however, the consequences of Sandy still make paddling a bit difficult…

How could you not “hit the ball out of the ballpark” on this challenge? The photo of Johna kayaking on still waters is stunning!

Glad you like that one! It doesn’t have splashing water, but somehow that photo also said “liquid” to me :-)
