It has been a while since I have participated in the Travel Challenge hosted by Ailsa.

This week Ailsa has asked us to display photos from our travels that awaken the senses.

I can still hear this old man playing Joplin in Keene NH. The sound was floating through the Old colony Mill Mall and I was drawn to it like a moth to the flame.

The cold breath of winter’s wind still chills me as I remember a snowy walk in downtown Winchendon and I can feel the warmth of the rising sun over the surf in Oguncquit Maine.

Lavender

The sweet scent of wisteria surrounds me as I think back to my walk through Longwood Gardens last June.

And of course no sensory post would be complete without the bitter sweet taste of a cup o’ Joe. This one is from Fruitlands in Acton Ma

Ailsa’s blog has asked us to show us how our travels MOVED US. To see other moving pictures click the capitalized link. Here are my moving shots.

This is one of my newest pictures. It captures the wind unfurling the flag on the water taxi that crosses Boston Harbor. My publishers and I took a ride the day we signed contracts on my book

I caught this man feeding the pigeons in the courtyard of the Royal Palace in Amsterdam.

This was actually part of a drama exercise my sister taught in one of her classes at Azusa College, in Holland.

Travel Theme: Angles

Posted on by under Photography

I am finally getting back to blogging on a regular schedule and while I am still a little behind at least I am arranging to blog daily again. That has been a challenge for months and now I think I have figured out how to make it happen. 🙂

Anyway this week’s travel theme is ANGLES. Hop on over to Ailsa’s place when you’re done here and check out some of the other angles bloggers have taken from around the world.

Here are mine:
