The Natural World – My Backyard 2014

This one is for The Daily Post: Photography 101

One of the best aspects about traveling the world by sailboat is that wherever you go, you are home.  It is only your backyard that changes as you travel along.

For today’s prompt, I share ‘my backyard’ in each of my 2014 ports of call.

Sailing. It is the only way to travel!

Lisa, estas fotos me parecen una preciosidad. La Polinesia es uno de los sitios que deseo visitar en los próximos tiempos.
Nosotros también somos aficionados a navegar, pero de forma un poco menos aventurera que tú: con cruceros. Hemos hecho muchos, y quisiéramos poder seguir haciendo cruceros en el futuro. El mar es impresionante y tu idea de seguir navegando es muy bonita.
Disculpa que no escriba en inglés pues no lo domino bien.

Saludos desde España.

Maria – Thank you so much for having a look at my site and for your lovely compliment. I hope that you visit Polynesia soon. It is truly paradise. I have to admit that I didn’t use to be very adventurous either, but the dream and subsequent experience of Polynesia helped me to discover the adventurer inside me. I look forward to following your adventures on your blog. I don’t speak Spanish very well, but I am fluent in Google Translate 🙂
