Travel theme: Soft

Posted on November 9, 2012 by ailsapm

It’s getting cold around here and I’m staying warm with a soft fleece jacket and soft fluffy socks. All this softness got me looking through my photos to find images that fitted the theme. Here’s what I came up with:

A cheeky red cardinal in New York’s Central Park

The softly-coloured stained glass windows of the Actor’s Chapel in Manhattan

A mound of shea butter waiting to be sold by the scoop at a street market

Delicate grasses around Snug Harbor on Staten Island

A bunny in Alley Pond Park, Queens. It doesn’t get much softer than this!

So what does soft mean to you? If you’d like to join in this week’s travel theme (everyone is welcome to join in), here’s what to do:

  • Create your own post and title it Travel Theme: Soft
  • 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

Show me your soft side!

About ailsapm

Hi there! I’m Ailsa Prideaux-Mooney. I’ve lived in many places, and travelled to many more. I had a lot of fun getting there and being there, wherever there happened to be at the time. I climbed a castle wall in Czesky Krumlov, abseiled down cliffs to go caving in the west of Ireland, slept on the beach in Paros, got chased by a swarm of bees in Vourvourou (ok that wasn’t fun, but it was exciting), learned flower arranging in Tokyo, found myself in the middle of a riot in Seoul, learned to snowboard in Salzburg, got lost in a labyrinth in Budapest and had my ice cream stolen by a gull in Cornwall. And I’m just getting started. If you’ve enjoyed what you’ve read so far, I’d love you to follow my travelogue - wheresmybackpack.com - and remember, anyone who tries to tell you it’s a small world hasn’t tried to see it all.

    Hi Ailsa,
    Great theme again, and all these pictures are so gorgious.
    What a devine red bird, that cardinal.

    Here is my kind of spiritual interpretation of “soft”. .

    Liked looking at your softness of the rabbit’s fur, downy cardinal feathers and blades of grass. Inspired a soft look at nature in my post: http://canoecommunications.wordpress.com/2012/11/12/out-of-the-woods/ 🙂
