Monday, June 24: Ailsa Where’s my backpack? of challenges us this week to come up with Ripples. Here’s my first choice, from a pond on top of Jebel Akhdar, a pond full of croaking and mating frogs.

Wadi Arbiyyin is one of the most peaceful spots I have found in Oman. I’m sorry I never got to swim in this gently-rippling pond.

And this was taken on an island in South Korea, Geoje-si, on a windy day at a place called Windy Hill. I love what a breeze does to a body of water and ornamental grasses. (Inspired by being mrscarmichael: Travel Theme (Ripples))

beautiful pics, catbird! wish i had your eye to spot beauty so easily.
Thank you so much, cbholganza. Thanks for visiting and for your kind comment. 🙂
Absolutely love the Waddi Arbiyyin photo, Cath. And those beautiful stones in your previous post. I was going to say that you’ll really miss Mario, but I’m sure you’ll keep in touch. Then I read about lovely Tahira and your suitcase dilemma. (I had wondered about that 🙂 See you soon!
I’m glad you love those photos, Jo. Wadi Arbiyyin was one of the nicest places in Oman. I will miss Mario and I hope we will keep in touch, but you know how it is when you live far away from people. It’s hard to maintain a close friendship over distances….. 😦 I hope my suitcase solution will work out fine. I always carry way too much when I travel and this time it’s for a month! I carry too much for 2 weeks, so I need to really watch it!!
I do love a Waddi. The first shot is so textural.
Thanks so much, mrs. carmichael. You should have seen and heard all the frogs in that pond!
such a clear water in Wadi Arbiyyin!
Yes, isn’t it, Frizz? I love that place!
I’ve nominated you for the way you inspire us to live life fully. Blessings! http://shandraharris.wordpress.com/2013/06/23/who-is-your-inspiration/
Thank you so much for the nomination, Shandra! It really is so nice of you to think of me. I’ll try to get to accepting it, but it will take some time, I fear! 🙂
The wadi looks just perfect for a hot day. Not long for you now!
Yes, it would be perfect, although I imagine the water feels like bathwater now in this heat. Yes, 2 1/2 days remaining!!
Beautiful ripples, Cathy. I especially love the first one. The ripples and reflections are wonderful. 🙂
Thanks so much, Robin! I’m sorry I haven’t been by to visit much lately. I hope you’ll understand, as I am so stressed out with leaving Oman and heading on holiday!
Beautiful ripples!!!
Thanks, Cee! 🙂
Great examples of ripples. I thought of the ripples in life, but how would you capture them?
That would be an interesting challenge, Carol. There sure are a lot of them too, especially in my life right now!
I love all three, Cathy, but that first one is certainly very special. 🙂
Thanks so much, Sylvia, I like that one too! 🙂
