I'm somewhat addicted - some would say obsessed - with standing beside bodies of water so I can quietly drink in the spirit of the place. So these all speak to me.<br /><br />Next week's theme, far from home, may see me digging into my archives for similarly soothing pictures from my own travels. Won't be as powerful as these, but I'll have you to thank for the inspiration all the same!carmilevyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00360045114379957605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7270474694755564803.post-22610484990001898282011-01-10T22:08:44.737-08:002011-01-10T22:08:44.737-08:00BTW do you have more photos of the mussel barge cl...BTW do you have more photos of the mussel barge closer? ...it's a lovely spot where you shot that one....and the barge looks very cool!21 Witshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00071361755673253230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7270474694755564803.post-45118111046591170322010-12-27T10:40:32.184-08:002010-12-27T10:40:32.184-08:00Yes, you are helpful.

But beautiful; I hadn't been there before that road trip. <br /><br />Karen - I saw the human calendar on someone else's blog and liked it too. <br /><br />PBW - hmmm I wouldn't come here in winter, but then I'm a summer person - don't like cold and wet. Unless you're a skier/skateboarder; we have some great skifields. But of course you have those in Utah! :) One of the nicest times to be in NZ is in (our) fall - March/April is usually still lovely and warm, and fairly settled.

Do tell: is there anything worth visiting in July? (Yes, I know that's winter; that's why I'm asking. And I don't mind cold and wet, especially since Utah in July is often beastly hot.)A Paperback Writerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10155962941590663738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7270474694755564803.post-61351449401040668732010-12-26T09:26:01.047-08:002010-12-26T09:26:01.047-08:00I really like picture number 3!
