WW – Cherry on Top While Traveling

July 27, 2016 / / 9 Comments

I have decided to post photos of past travels in general and our eight year sailing adventure on SV Irie in particular for Wordless Wednesdays. I hope you enjoy them. Also, I can’t do completely “wordless”, but I try my best with “almost wordless”. 🙂

My theme “Cherry on Top” for this week comes from The Daily Post. While I am totally passionate about traveling and enjoy many aspects of it, my highlights remain wildlife encounters. Therefore, “meeting” and interacting with animals is the cherry on top of my explorations, in the world or in the back yard!

The biggest cherry: swimming with wild manta rays next to our boat in the Marquesas, FP
Snorkeling with a spotted eagle ray nearby our boat
Really close (and startling) encounter with a nurse shark in the San Blas, Panama
Sloth in Panama
Visiting sea lion in the Galapagos
Monkey in Costa Rica
Black tip reef shark in Fakarava, Tuamotus, FP
Howler monkey in Costa Rica (or was it Panama?)
Dolphins in the anchorage love to play with the dinghy
Free dolphin show in an anchorage in Tahuata, Marquesas, FP

For more “Cherry on Top” shots of nature, check out this gallery post, which was part of my A-Z Blogging challenge this year.

Who or what is your cherry on top, in the day-to-day life or on vacation?

WW – Details on a Walk to a Viewpoint: Morning Dew

July 20, 2016 / / 15 Comments

I have decided to post photos of past travels in general and our eight year sailing adventure on SV Irie in particular for Wordless Wednesdays. I hope you enjoy them.

My theme “Details” for this week comes from The Daily Post. From the moment I saw the prompt, this photo came to mind. I rarely take photos of details. Maybe I should in the future?

The walk to the lookout revealed this view (the details all blurred together :-)):

Or was it this view (where all details are pushed out of sight)? I can’t quite remember…

Do you prefer photographing landscapes, wildlife, portraits or details? Or, anything that strikes your fancy (but mostly nice views), like me?

Do you remember to look up when walking in nature, towns or museums? What is you favorite sight to look up at? Mine is … a boring blue sky or a sparkling black one! 🙂

WW – Opposites on Wharariki Beach

I have decided to post photos of past travels in general and our eight year sailing adventure on SV Irie in particular for Wordless Wednesdays. I hope you enjoy them. My theme “Opposites” for this week comes from The Daily Post.

Wharariki Beach in Golden Bay, New Zealand

Opposites that come to mind are: sand-rock, dead-alive, arid-lush, air-water, dry-wet, bumpy-flat

Which opposites do you spot when looking at this photo?
