This week’s Photo Challenge is Twist.
A twist of twisted lemon, anyone?
Yes, it’s a citrus fruit: Buddha’s Hand.

This week’s Photo Challenge is Work of Art.
With its cunningly laid-out landscapes and waterscapes, NYC’s Central Park is, of course, not a work of Nature, but of Art.
And it inspires people to create Works of Art of their own…
This last, too, was a photoshoot in the park…

Ailsa’s travel-themed photo challenge this week is Rivers.
Kayaking around Manhattan revolves (so to speak) around three rivers: the Hudson River, the East River, and the Harlem River. (Two and a half of them are not really rivers, but we won’t let that distract us here.)
And so, when we fly back to NYC, we always try to sit by the window. It’s such a pleasure to see these rivers spread out below, and to recognize all the bridges and piers, the islands and bays that we’ve come to know so intimately from kayak level.

This past weekend, it suddenly felt like summer in NYC. How better to celebrate than with one of our favorite paddles? On Sunday, we paddled from Manhattan through the open waters of the Lower Bay
down to Sandy Hook
and back again to Manhattan…
Here is a selection of photos from the trip.

“You should write down what worked, and what didn’t,” DolphinGal advised us when she was doing our gear check the day before the start of the Everglades Challenge. So, a tip of the hat to DolphinGal (who has a pretty impressive story of her own to tell about what worked, and what didn’t, in her Everglades Challenge, some years back).
Here’s what we wrote down…

This week’s Photo Challenge is On the Move.
My first response showed massive objects on the move to a purposeful destination. So, by way of contrast, this post features ephemeral movement in frivolous circles… :-)
All taken in NYC, respectively at the 2013 Coney Island Mermaid Parade, at the 2011 Figment art festival, and in 2011 at Central Park’s Wollman Rink.
