This week’s Photo Challenge is Love.
And there’s one set of photos that comes to mind straight away :-)
Some of you have seen them before, and I apologize. I promise not to show them again (any time soon, anyway)… I guess I’ll have to find something else for Valentine’s Day!
The full set of photos is here.

This week’s Photo Challenge is Beyond.
When paddling counterclockwise around Manhattan, or down the Hudson River back to the city, there comes that breathtaking moment when the distant vista of Midtown Manhattan comes into view beyond the George Washington Bridge.
I always take a photo at that point. By now I have many, in rain and sunshine, day and night… Here are a few of them.
More photos from these trips are here, here, here, here, here, here, here, and here.

This week’s Photo Challenge is Illumination.
Christmas 2011—
In bright light, the Christmas tree looks pretty enough… but somehow still awaiting its true moment.
Candlelight works its magic. The whole tree glows with a soft radiance. The light picks out the glitter of ornaments from the pools of darkness deep among the branches. The candles burn silently, yet flicker perceptibly from moment to moment. The rising air sets strands of tinsel subtly in motion, shimmering in the light. The tree is alive.
More photos from Christmas 2011 are here, and from Christmas 2012 here.

On A Word In Your Ear , Skinnywench’s photo challenge this week is Cloud. Since I have so many photos of clouds—it’s hard to avoid clouds, just as it is hard to avoid water, in kayaking photos—I thought I would join in.
But, although I have many photos of clouds, the clouds of two special days stand out particularly in my memory. On those days, a dramatic, constantly changing cloudscape dominated the scene. We stared upward, mesmerized.
Here’s the first of those days.
The story of the day is here, more photos are here, and larger versions of some of the photos are here. And the second of the two spectacularly Cloudy days is here.
