This month's Photo Blogging Challenge theme was a helpful nudge to lean into the things that bring you joy and make you smile, a small - but powerful - counterweight against the way so much of what's in the news these days fosters dread and frustration.
This month’s photo blogging challenge was to “be present.” In a series of 5 photos, I share my best efforts.
Kayaking Sermilínguaq Fjord was our final paddling excursion on the Gems of West Greenland itinerary with Quark Expeditions. Highlights included a large Black-legged Kittiwake colony, multiple waterfalls and the chance to "raft up" just in front of the glacier that carved the fjord.
A 5 km paddle under sunny skies was a wonderful way to start a long afternoon of adventure in West Greenland.
We covered almost 4 km during this 70 minute paddle. Highlights included the Black-Legged Kittiwake colony, practice maneuvering into / out of a shallow cave and a waterfall. As with the previous day, we had a bonus landing. A short trek to an overlook granted impressive views of Perlerfiup Kangerlua Fjord.
