Travel theme: Ripples

I took far too many photos of those cheeky little ducklings during my visit to Magnuson Park, so I had to put them to good use in this week’s travel theme. Here are a few of the ripples they made, along with some other memorable ripples I’ve encountered.

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.

  27. Wild waves and raves. Amazing. The first pix is pretty – natural winner, but love that Multiuniverse installation in DC (am putting that definitely on a “to visit” list)

    Your “Ripples” post not only inspired me to search for ripples, camera in hand, but it also gave me a word I’ve needed for a story I’m translating. I wanted to say undulating without saying undulating. I’ve now changed the word to ‘rippling’. Thanks for all your inspiring posts, Ailsa.
