The romance of watching the sunset together…
Happy Valentine’s Day!

Ailsa’s travel-themed photo challenge this week is Yellow.
New York City’s yellow taxis are world-famous.
And ubiquitous! We can’t get away from them even when we are paddling around the harbor.
We’ve always wondered what it would be like to have one pass right over you. It could easily happen, in the dense rush-hour traffic. After all, they have schedules to keep. And we do hear them on the radio referring to us as “speed bumps”…
Here one of our friends is trying to get a feel for it ahead of time ;-)
(The first “Yellow” post was here.)

Ailsa’s travel-themed photo challenge this week is Dry.
As kayakers, we like Wet. We don’t like Dry at all!
“I don’t believe this!! There was water all the way up to these rocks yesterday!?”
Denial
Anger
Depression
Acceptance

This week’s Photo Challenge is Object.
When we land somewhere on our kayaking expeditions, for lunch or to camp for the night, we aim to leave nothing behind and to take nothing with us when we leave again. But sometimes we find there a little object that just begs to be taken home as a souvenir…
Here is one such, in situ
It’s coming home with us
to join others, from other journeys
(This little green fish is a souvenir of our stay on Stockport Middle Ground during our 2011 trip down the Hudson from Albany to New York City.)
