Thursday Thoughts – Travel theme: Adventure

Ailsa, you once invited me to participate in your Travel theme – and I have, almost every week, for several years. Your theme will be greatly missed, but I hope we will keep You!

My interpretation became a long one…almost every picture will have an explanation as to why they represent Adventure. Not that I think the explanation is needed – but still.

Thank you for all these years of hosting! Life is the greatest Adventure.

 

Thursday Thoughts – Memories From Last January

Most photos this month were from the Galapagos Islands and our beautiful ship – Cachalote – Here are some of my favorites. In the header, me and my lovely mockingbird!

Volcanic Islands all of them – and here at Sullivan Bay – strikingly beautiful.

My absolute favorites on this trip were the iguanas – especially the land iguanas. We were so lucky to find an iguana up in the cacti – they love eating them, but rarely have any success in climbing them.

I would not mind going back one day – to see the other islands as well. Each island has its own specific flora and fauna. Mostly untouched by humans – and therefore, animal kingdoms.

 

CFFC: Letter W

Letter W – Needs to start with W and have two vowels in the word (window, wheel, wagon, working, weather, woodshed, woman)

 

In the header – Wisteria – a favorite flower in every respect!

 

Woman. One of my favorites -a collegue of mine, waiting for Heathcliff on the moors!

Window. From a silent, late evening walk in the old part of Riga.

Sweet Memories – Just to Cheer Me Up

Sometimes memories pop up, of the good times we had when both dogs were still with us. Mille and Totti – forever in my heart. The winters were never that grey, and the days were always more bright and sunny. If you miss a beloved best friend…you will know the feeling. Life would be very empty without them!

Unforgettable…

Thursday Thoughts – Memories From A Year Ago

I thought I would share some memories posted in January 2017 – My dream trip to Quito, the Amazon Basin and Galapagos. Let us start in Quito – a city of festivities that week!

An unforgettable journey with lovely people – and a country I would more than love to return to.

 

Thursday’s Special: Traces of the Past y4-01

 

Traces of the past – in Segovia, Spain. The most impressive aqueduct,  for Paula at Lost in Translation.

WPC: Weathered

This weathered Castle we found in a forlorn place in the Spanish countryside. We saw the pinnacles sticking up from the treetops and headed for it. A fairy tale castle!
