Sheep. As far as the eye can see. This photo of our soft little buddies near Milford Sound, New Zealand reminds me of countless kiwi/sheep jokes I’ve heard while traveling. Yes, there are more sheep than men in New Zealand and yes, the sheep are scared.
Hats off to Jitsu for capturing what looks like the start of the annual New Zealand Sheep Marathon. I’d hate to be trying to drive through that mess.
There is nothing more hilarious while traveling than to run across a local wearing a random t-shirt he probably received as a gift from some tourist, yet has no idea what the English writing actually means.
I just love the way this photo by Jen Hamilon captures this rugged Guatemalan who, as his shirt suggests, is far more than just another cowboy on the range.
To many this may look like nothing more than a snapshot you would find in your weekly grocery store papers, but for me it is something more. As I have found my way back onto the east coast from the very far west of Seattle and Portland, this picture from my personal catalog, of these ice packed crabs in the Pike Place Market marks one of the final stops on my five and a half week long road trip through the Mid-west and Northwest. (Sniffles.) While I’ve never been a crab connoissuer, I do love the west coast very much. Crabs and all – I am sad to have left, but I’m sure I’ll be back soon.

I’m a sucker for lovely beach scenes, so it’s hardly a surprise that I dug throug the Gadling Flickr site and selected this lovely shot from Bajy for our much coveted (OK, mayby not so much) Photo of the Day. The shot seems to hvae been taken with some kind of filter and/or treated in photoshop. We can let the photographer tell us if this is so or not. But either way, with the rain falling outside my window right now, I think this is a lovely shot.
Sorry, folks, despite all the fabulous photos over at the Gadling Flickr site right now, I’m going to post another photo of my own from a recent kayaking trip I took in Kingston, New York. The trip was led by the kayak king of New York, Eric Stiller, and was designed to introduce a group of us to the splendors of Fall in upstate. This shot is of one of the young women that came with us and captures her near Kingston Lighthouse. I’m going to be doing more paddle posts this month because in December I head to Baja for a week of paddling near La Paz. Psyched.
