This week’s Photo Challenge is Joy.
Kids have no trouble finding Joy.
Adults sometimes have to work at it…

Ailsa’s travel-themed photo challenge this week is Winter.
In NYC, meteorological Winter has been with us for quite some time. And with tomorrow’s Winter Solstice, astronomical Winter starts as well. But there is a silver lining—even though the coldest days are yet to come, from today the day length will steadily increase toward Spring…
In the meantime, Happy Winter!
However, for reasons that can’t be gainsaid, we are off to Florida for a week’s paddling, in regions that even WordPress cannot reach… Happy Holidays, and see y’all when we get back!

This week’s Photo Challenge is Community.
After many hours of lonely paddling, it’s a treat to meet up with paddling friends for an impromptu lunch…
(We’ve almost written up that trip—stay tuned!)

This week’s Photo Challenge is Grand.
To face the elements is, to be sure, no light matter when the sea is in its grandest mood. You must then know the sea, and know that you know it, and not forget that it was made to be sailed over.
— Joshua Slocum, Sailing Alone Around the World
Even in our little kayaks, in a passing little storm, we occasionally glimpse something of what Slocum meant.
From our 2012 kayak circumnavigation of Long Island, NY. The story of that storm is here.

Ailsa’s travel-themed photo challenge this week is Sky, and the Weekly Photo Challenge is Let There Be Light! Putting the two together—
Crepuscular rays, also called “Backstays of the Sun” and even “Fingers of God”. Let There Be Light, indeed!

Oh, all right… I can’t resist having a third go at this week’s Photo Challenge, Let There Be Light! (The first two responses were here and here.)
The Tribute in Light, seen on our Hidden Harbor Tour on September 10, 2013.

This week’s Photo Challenge is Let There Be Light! Our first response was here, but here’s another, quite different take on the theme…
Little pools of light in the gathering darkness… The lamps come on in NYC’s Central Park on a snowy night.
February 8, 2013. More photos are here. And yet a third interpretation of “Let There Be Light!” is here.
