Izzywiz Posted September 8, 2020 #854 Share Posted September 8, 2020 I love the picture of the flying flamingos too (great idea for a circus act name!). My husband's hobby is bird photography and he has huge lenses. I'm very lucky because my passion is to see places and he wants to photograph every possible bird in the world so cruising and land tours give us both chances to follow our passions. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 3rd photo shows the framed print that I had made for my husband for his birthday Lovely idea. I hope Mark had a fantastic 65th birthday.

Elderflower Posted September 8, 2020 #865 Share Posted September 8, 2020 My final set of Ws - Whitsunday Islands, NZ. We had a trip in a seaplane to see the Great Barrier reef from the air. The seaplane itself was a first for us and we had the added bonus of taking off and landing on both land and sea as we had to pick people up on the way. As we were the first to board this very small plane I got to sit at the front next to the pilot. It was a wonderful experience. Photos are of Oriana, the sea plane, the Great Barrier Reef and Whitehaven Beach which was spectacular seen from the sky. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it count?😉 Lovely, my son is going through the process of buying a house in Whitstable and I am looking forward to visiting him there. We both enjoy that area so much and it's only just over an hour from where we live so I can get a taste of the sea without having to cruise.

zoe sproodle Posted September 8, 2020 #870 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Here’s a rather tenuous ‘W’ - Wight, Isle of. It’s the dark grey bit between the two other grey bits and behind Oceana, making her way down the Solent for the last time. Sorry about the poor quality of the pic, it was a wet and windy evening and we just sat in the car watching sadly. The only words we exchanged were ‘poor Oceana’. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take that, seems an ideal way to finish the W's and move on to X (if anyone has any!). Or shall we just go for X, Y and Z together? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
