I don't know what it is about water
but I just love it
how it changes from day to day
even hour to hour
the rise and fall
ebb and flow
of its presence
charms me
as do the boats who
who dance and shimmer
on its surface
Yep. Just can't get enough of this.
So .....with that said, over the next week, The Professor and I will be taking in a view of another coastline ... Seattle (for business) and then .... (drumroll) .... Alaska (for fun)! I'm hoping to get some spectacular shots of all kinds of scenery and critters!
Keep your fingers crossed for good weather. We've got a 9-hour boat tour planned off the southern coast of the Kenai Fjords National Park south of Anchorage. Should be awesome!
Of course,
there are other family members who could care less!
Huurrrmmmppphhh!

I heard your camera sighed:
A busy week for me again.
oh Kramer not to worry you and all the backyard visitors will be well tended while mom and dad are away ... I wish I could stow away on the Seattle portion of your trip .. xo
Oh, girl. Now I am downright jealous! You'll get glorious pictures both in Seattle and on the Alaska trip. I so want to go back to Alaska, but.....
Have a great time and take even more pictures than usual, okay? So we can all go their vicariously through you.
I feel the same about water!! Hope you have a wonderful visit to our beautiful Seattle! Lots to see and the weather should be good! Enjoy!!
A Seattle trip would be fabulous! Hope they get sunshine while you are there. :-)) Have fun!
oh wow...what a trip...seattle is one of my fav places....and alaska, i have yet to get there but it is one the list...travel light...
i def know the allure of the water....and boats...
I don't know what your husband does but I sure wish my husband did it! What fabulous places you visit! I'm so happy that you share them with us!
You get to go to the coolest places! Alaska is on our radar so I can't wait to see what you see. Be safe and bring back good pics!

Hugs and safe travels

Your kitty is going to have a party when you all are out:) I always love new places to shoot. It's the excitment of not knowing what you'll see....especially when the critters are involved:) Some nights I can't even sleep because I get so excited! Have fun there. I will say that sailboats capture the imagination:)
every time we drive across the skyway we look at the breath taking view of the water and talk about how beautiful and ever changing it is
Beautiful watery shots.
Very cute kitty!
i love water too and can describe why to those who think it's just okay.....
travel safely to your beautiful destinations !!

Your photos are absolutely stunning, Reena! Can't believe you're going away again. Oh wait, yes I can!! Enjoy and safe travels, my friend.

Your Kitty looks like my Daughters cat. Kitty does look like it could care less about what or where you are traveling....
great views. i love the 2nd shot. (:
I always enjoy my visits here. Such lovely sights.
Are you an Aquarius? I am and I love water, too :)
Awesome trip! Can not wait for the pics ;)
Hugs from Ohio,
I.
I am so looking forward to seeing your photos from Alaska and Seattle. Take care and have a terrific trip.
Beautiful water and boat pictures, I was born near the ocean and still live near it, when I am away for any length of time something just doesn't seem right.
Hope the weather is perfect for your trip.
Beautiful photographs and sentiment. Love your kitty, too!
Maureen
Oh, I can't wait to see your photos! These are beautiful - love the reflections and the color of the water.
I'd love to trade your life for mine for a few days or weeks. But then that wouldn't be a fair trade for you!
Can't wait to see the fruits of your latest adventures.
Now these are great boat shots. Hope you enjoy your trip
It sounds fun to enjoy. I love how you added to the photos.
I am with you. I just love the water.. How I wish I lived by the ocean. Someday!! I visited Seattle for the first time last month, And enjoyed it so much. I bet Alaska is going to be gorgeous.. Can't wait to see your photos..
Hugs~
i am jealous... you travel so much to such lovely places. look forward to pictures.
Been to Alaska some years ago...wait till you see a MOOSE walking along the highway:) Wonderful shots of the water and I loooove your family member who could care less...what a cutie!!
I, too, love being near water. Just about kind will do. Ocean, river, mountain stream, lake... I think I could do without little hot and fetid ponds with mosquitoes buzzing around and the possibility of a water mocassin crawling up my leg, but just about anywhere else is okee-dokee. One of my favorite "sit and ponder" places in the world is a little stream near my childhood home in Dorchester (a neighborhood of Boston) and I would go sit there and just stare at the softly-flowing water while whatever was on my mind worked itself out.
Have a great time! Give the cat some catnip.
I love the water too and don't get to spend nearly enough time around it.
Enjoy your trips. I'm sure you'll come back with some spectacular shots. My brother went to Alaska and he loved it
There is just that certain something about water :-)
Oh lucky you.. you get to see all these wonderful places. And lucky us, as you share your wonderful photography so willingly. That's win-win to me. Have fun and safe trips, Reena.
cats are so unaffected
beautiful water shots, incredible ripply reflections
enjoy
SUPER! Have a great time.
FYI: I'm a big fan of water too. :))
Watch has magnetic qualities.
oh! i get to go along to Alaska
tucked into your suitcase!
joy:)
hope the seas don't disappoint you.
love and happy skies,
Jennifer
Great shots as always!
Really nice photos. You sound so happy.
Your cat looks like mine.
Yet another great grouping of photos! What a beautiful place. I've been to Seattle several times in my life and I think it was raining each and every time...
