Watching the sun set along the Oregon Coast I saw a couple walking hand in hand along the beach.
A little later, watching the same sun set a few miles further along the coast, I watched a couple of children walk along the shore, the little boy reaching for the girl’s hand.
It seemed to be the perfect theme for this week, so I went rummaging through my photos for other couples I have photographed. Here’s what I came up with:
Now over to you. If you’d like to join in this week’s travel theme, here’s what to do:
- Create your own post featuring couples and title it Travel Theme: Couples
- Include a link to this page in your post so others can find it too
- Get your post in by next Thursday, as the new travel theme comes out on Friday
- Don’t forget to subscribe to keep up to date on the latest weekly travel themes
I can’t wait to see your daring duos, your perfect pairs and your terrible twins.

Yaay, welcome aboard, truetravelingtales, and look at you getting in early with the first entry. I’m still playing catch up with last week’s wonderful entries 🙂 Great couples, those tortoises are magnificent, and I love the first one of the man and the little boy on the bike. x
Brilliant choice of photos … the last one is my favorite … very cute figures …. maybe not so colorful as the rest, but cute will do it for me today – have a great weekend.
Cute is always good! You have a great weekend too, Viveka!

Yes, I love horses – that last photo is particularly lovely, the horses are gorgeous and the scenery is breathtaking!
Beautiful pictures!
And I love your interpretation of couples!
Thought I would only see adult human couples,
but love to see animals and children too!

once you offered the travel theme SILHOUETTES – now they are following with the weekly photo challenge: http://flickrcomments.wordpress.com/2012/10/19/weekly-photo-challenge-silhouette/
Haha, excellent, frizztext, glad to see I’m leading the way! xxx
hi Ailsa, you are leading many of us with your creative and positive ideas, thank you!
about couples:
Adorable, love this photo, frizztext.
Hi Frizz, I couldn’t comment on your two-subjects post, so I’d just write it down here, I thought that the photograph of the cat and the dog was simply ingenious! Loved it. 🙂
I love your selection Ailsa – brought a smile, always good.
Thanks Lynne, smiles do a body good! 🙂

Your last picture is a funny and original one.

G’day Ailsa another great theme. I’m getting in quick before we get on the train. We have such colourful and friendly birds in Aus…
Oops forgot link. http://pommepal.wordpress.com/2012/10/20/travel-theme-couples/
Ooh, they really are rainbow-coloured, aren’t they, pommepal? I love how gentle they are with one another, really enjoyed your post. xxx
Thank you Ailsa for the comment, they are gentle with their partner but can be very aggresive if any other birds invade their territory
Lovely pics, Ailsa!! Usually I only *love* nature/animal pics, but given that the beach and romance was involved in the first two, I loved them all!! I’m gonna wait a day or so on this one, it’ll take some digging…but I would really love for you to check out this week’s Pictorial Highlight of mine on Red Rock Canyon State Park (shades of Utah in California!!), I like this one and it has some really cool pics of an owl and a nice little “travelogue” blurb about finding them =) http://therewildwest.wordpress.com/2012/10/18/pictorial-highlight-red-rock-canyon-state-park/

Wonderful, Jan, the owl photos are gorgeous!
Thank you–they’re soooo blurry, if only I’d had my 500 mm lens at that point in my ilfe!! But even a blurry owl picture is enjoyable to me at least =)

This is a fabulous theme, Ailsa! Your parrots and flamingos are simply stunning photographs. I am really looking forward to seeing the interpretations from your followers. In keeping with your travel focus, my contribution includes pics taken in Hong Kong, Toronto, Edmonton, Melbourne, Williamstown, Fitzroy, Separation Creek, Byron Bay and Adelaide. Oh, and it includes some musings about the urge to merge. I really enjoyed compiling this collection, so thanks heaps for suggesting this theme 🙂
Cheers, Cinova
Love it, Cinova, the two guys at Toronto Pride are all kinds of fabulous, and I love the bubble-filled shot of the wedding dance! xxx
Love your couples photos, Ailsa. This is an interesting theme. 🙂

Magpies are cool, pommepal, they’re such smart birds. Love that one of Jack with the magpie family. That bottom photo is amazing, what gorgeous-looking birds.
