The adjective that best describes Kakashi is adventurous. We have been taking walks ever since he was a kitten and he is now 15 years old. Each day brings new adventures and Kakashi loves to be outside exploring the woods with me. We often go for walks over a mile, crossing streams in the process. He has such a bold adventurous spirit.
Happy Caturday!

I was adventurous today and took a drive through parts of rural Indiana that I haven't explored before. I found this interesting old building along the way. Anyone want to guess what it used to be? It seems a little big to have been a house. Google wasn't any help. Either way, it appears that it's been abandoned for at least a decade.

Located in Hoi An Ancient Town - A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Bridge is one of the most attractive cultural destinations in Vietnam. Being built in the 16th century, this monument has witnessed numberless changes in the town.
The Bridge, known as Cau Pagoda (Chùa Cầu), was built in the 16th century with Japanese businessmen’s assistance. The bridge has been associated with a monster’s legend called Namazu, a Japanese mythological monster whose movements cause earthquakes and floods. Its head is located in India, while its body is in Vietnam and its tail in Japan.
The bridge was built with the belief of a magical sword to pin down Namazu’s back. Therefore, the monster could not wriggle, preventing natural disasters in Vietnam, Japan, and India. Hence, the lives of people in these three countries would happen in peace and prosperity.
The Bridge has gone through seven renovations over 400 years, particularly in 1763, 1815, 1875, 1917, 1962, 1986, and 1996. Some small adjustments have been made on the roof, floor, and pillars.

I call you to a contest. The goal is to "contest" or go against . . . everything you do normally. Challenge yourself to reach for new goals and to be the best--not the best against your friends, but to be the very best you that you can be.
This is my idea of "Natural Beauty" . . . just in case you were wondering why I asked you to meet this challenge for the Pulllip-Tography Maide Voyage Contest. This and the following shots are what gave me the inspiration for our little group's contest. I hope you enjoy them. <3
Always,
Paige

There's an old Romanian saying:
"when the cat is not home, the mouse plays on the table"
"I feel restless, spirited, adventurous.
To be absolutely truthful,
I hope to go on living as I am living,
sensually.
I have erotic imaginings.
I do not want solitude,
introspection,
work.
I want pleasure."

Description in English, Dutch and German
Mr. Monster, the famous adventurous traveler from Rotterdam with Indian roots, had fled his house due to a conflict with his former Dutch neighbours. Were his neighbors really that bad or was he slowly becoming psychotic and was their violent behaviour only in his mind? He needed a break. On a cloudy summer day in August he was walking next to an impressive bridge in Regensburg. The bridge, known as the Stone Bridge of Regensburg, was built in the year 1135 and is considered one of the oldest bridges in the world still standing. This bridge was built with a mixture of limestone and sandstone and was supported by several large arches. It originally had two towers at the end, but only one remains today. The bridge connected the two banks of the Danube and was a crucial part of the old Imperial Road. Mr. Monster stopped and admired the view of the old bridge. He could see the colourful houses on the opposite bank, and the special cloud formation made him dream away. He continued walking, and the old bridge was a reminder of the tumultuous history of the city. Regensburg, known as the oldest city in Germany, had been founded by the Romans in 179 and had been under the rule of the Hapsburgs and the Bavarians. He stopped at the end of the bridge and looked at the river, reflecting on his journey. He had experienced so much since he had left his home in Rotterdam, and he was ready to continue his adventures. As he walked away, Mr. Monster was filled with a sense of excitement. His journey had only just begun, and he was eager to see what else the world had to offer. Suddenly his face turns pale and he looks back. Mr. Monster hears a deep male voice talking. He recognizes it immediately. It is the voice of his violent neighbor from the Netherlands. He grabs his head with both hands and...... To be continued.

Mr. Monster, de beroemde avontuurlijke Nederlander van Indiase afkomst, was zijn huis tijdelijk ontvlucht vanwege een langslepend conflict met zijn Nederlandse buren. Waren de buren echt zo slecht of was hij psychotisch geworden. Het was goed om er even tussenuit te gaan. Hij had inmiddels al veel mooie steden en dorpen gezien in het land van bier, braadworst en schlagermuziek tot hij op deze zomerdag aan kwam in Regensburg in het Duitse Beieren. Al snel naderde hij een imposante brug in het centrum van de stad. De brug, bekend als de oude stenen brug van Regensburg, werd gebouwd in het jaar 1135 en wordt beschouwd als een van de oudste nog bestaande bruggen ter wereld. Deze brug is gebouwd met een mengsel van kalksteen en zandsteen. Het wordt ondersteund door verschillende grote bogen. Het had oorspronkelijk twee torens aan het einde, maar er is er nog maar één over. De brug verbond de twee oevers van de Donau en was een cruciaal onderdeel van de oude keizerlijke weg. Mr. Monster stopte en bewonderde het uitzicht op de oude brug. Hij zag de kleurrijke huizen aan de overkant en de bijzondere wolkenformatie in de lucht deed hem wegdromen. Hij liep verder en het werd hem duidelijk dat de oude brug een herinnering was aan de tumultueuze geschiedenis van de stad. Regensburg, bekend als de oudste stad van Duitsland, was in 179 gesticht door de Romeinen en stond later onder de heerschappij van de Habsburgers en ook nog enkele Beierse heersers. Hij stopte aan het einde van de brug en keek naar de rivier, nadenkend over zijn reis. Hij had zoveel meegemaakt sinds hij zijn huis in Rotterdam had verlaten en was vastberaden om zijn avonturen voort te zetten. Terwijl hij wegliep, werd hij vervuld van opwinding. Zijn reis was nog maar net begonnen en hij wilde graag zien wat europa nog meer te bieden had.

Herr. Monster, der berühmt-berüchtigte abenteuerlustige Niederländer von indischer Herkunft, war aufgrund eines langanhaltenden Konflikts mit seinen niederländischen Nachbarn vorübergehend aus seiner Heimat geflohen. Waren die Nachbarn wirklich so schlimm oder war er psychotisch geworden? Es tat gut, dem Alltag zu entfliehen. Er hatte bereits viele schöne Städte und Dörfer im Land des Bieres, der Bratwurst und der Schlagermusik gesehen, bis er an diesem Sommertag im bayerischen Regensburg ankam. Bald näherte er sich einer imposanten Brücke im Zentrum der Stadt. Die als Alte Steinerne Brücke von Regensburg bekannte Brücke wurde im Jahr 1135 erbaut und gilt als eine der ältesten erhaltenen Brücken der Welt. Diese Brücke besteht aus einer Mischung aus Kalkstein und Sandstein. Es wird von mehreren großen Bögen getragen. Ursprünglich hatte es am Ende zwei Türme, von denen jedoch nur noch einer übrig ist. Die Brücke verband die beiden Donauufer und war ein wichtiger Teil der alten Reichsstraße. Herr. Monster blieb stehen und bewunderte die Aussicht auf die alte Brücke. Er sah die bunten Häuser auf der anderen Seite und die besondere Wolkenformation am Himmel ließ ihn träumen. Als er weiterging, wurde ihm klar, dass die alte Brücke eine Erinnerung an die turbulente Geschichte der Stadt war. Regensburg, bekannt als die älteste Stadt Deutschlands, wurde 179 von den Römern gegründet und kam später unter die Herrschaft der Habsburger und auch einiger bayerischer Herrscher. Am Ende der Brücke blieb er stehen, schaute auf den Fluss und dachte über seine Reise nach. Seit er sein Zuhause in Rotterdam verlassen hatte, hatte er so viel durchgemacht und war entschlossen, seine Abenteuer fortzusetzen. Als er wegging, war er voller Aufregung. Seine Reise hatte gerade erst begonnen und er war gespannt, was Europa sonst noch zu bieten hatte.
Love Benny's adventurous spirit....he goes from hanging pots to clothes dryer .....what next Benny.
He doesn't look too amused at being discovered in his new place.
I wish you good luck, wherever you fly!/Ett äventyrligt liv...önskar er en fin färd, var än ni flyger!/ Una vida de aventuras...buen viaje, dondequiera que vayan! (018-4)
I'm a romantic at heart and a comedian in my soul. However, I don't visit the ballroom nearly as much as I should. Maybe it's the desire to be adventurous and explore new places, I'm not sure.
However, I have wanted to take Lexi★Morgan dancing in the ballroom and when she bought this beautiful new dress well it was the perfect time to dress up and go.
We thought about Franks, but the dress has a slit in the front and I wasn't sure of the reaction of whoever was in charge of the floor that night. We decided on Romance in the Clouds.
I want to review the ballroom, the music, the ambiance etc. To be honest I can't because I was stuck in the moment. As a matter of fact I took this photo with Mid graphics, I never take a pic on Mid. We were so romantically connected that I didn't really notice much and nothing else mattered. Maybe that's the best review of all.
LM to come.
Alplochschlucht
Die knapp 30 Kilometer lange Dornbirner Ach ist ein wichtiger Abfluss für die kleinen Bäche im Bregenzerwaldgebirge in Vorarberg. Südöstlich von Dornbirn hat sich der Fluss dabei in Form der beiden tiefen und engen Schluchten des Rappenlochs und des Alplochs in die hier teils senkrecht stehenden Kalksteinschichten des Gebirges eingeschnitten. Die etwa 700 Meter lange Alplochschlucht wurde 1902 durch einen schmalen Weg erschlossen. Dabei verläuft der Steg teils frei über dem Wasser der Dornbirner Ach. Durch den Felsen rechterhand verläuft zu dem ein Wassertunnel, welches das Kraftwerk Ebensand mit Wasser zur Stromerzeugung versorgt.

The Alploch Gorges near Dornbirn is one of the largest gorges in Central Europe. Some adventurous footbridges lead through them since 1902.

Mr. Monster is an adventurous traveler and explorer who recently found himself in Amsterdam, the city of the enemy football club. He was there for only a moment due to train problems, but he was mesmerized by the landscape of the river IJ at the back of the station. The cloudy sky and the vast expanse of water captivated him, and he took out his phone to read up on the history of the IJ. As he read, he learned that the IJ was once a shallow lake, but it was eventually transformed into a river by the Dutch in the 17th century. The river was used for transportation and trade, and it was also a source of inspiration for many Dutch painters. Mr. Monster was so enthralled by the history of the IJ that he almost forgot he was in the city of the enemy football club. But when he returned to the station, he was reminded of his beloved Feyenoord from Rotterdam when he saw many locals wearing Ajax shirts. He smiled to himself, thinking of the Dutch championship that Feyenoord had won. On the train he put in his earphones and listened with great pleasure to the very sensitive coversong Mariodona about his Feyenoord childhood hero Mario Been. Super Mario has many nicknames and is seen by many supporters in Rotterdam as the messiah of football in the Netherlands. To the sounds of Mariodona, the train slowly drove out of Amsterdam.
Stopped to take pictures of the bungee jumpers. I would have jumped but didn't have time... NOT!!!

The French Valley, or Valle del Francés, sprawled majestically before me. Nestled within Chile's Torres del Paine National Park, this dramatic landscape whispered tales of ancient glaciers that carved its rugged beauty. Days one and two had left me spellbound by the turquoise magic of Pehoe and Nordenskjöld Lakes – memories forever preserved in this photograph and in the previous ones.
But the spirit of adventure, even at nearly 59, thrummed with an insatiable curiosity. A tinge of regret for those initial days lingered, but the promise of new discoveries beckoned.
The French Valley is a hiker's paradise. Within its embrace lay a challenging 15-kilometer (9.3-mile) trail demanding a 1,000-meter (3,280-foot) round-trip climb – a testament to the sculpting power of glaciers over millennia. This conquest would lead me to Refugio Paine Grande, perched a respectable 40 meters (131 feet) above sea level. This section forms part of the iconic W Trek, but the valley itself can be tackled as a day hike for those seeking a taste of its grandeur. However, for the truly adventurous, the trail continues for another 8 kilometers to Refugio Paine Grande, a welcome respite after conquering the French Valley.
While the climb promised a physical test, the reward of breathtaking vistas and the satisfaction of pushing my limits fueled my excitement. Pisco sours could wait – for now, the French Valley awaited its conquest.
This truly would be an adventurous kayakers delight to zip through these crashing waves here at Burleigh Falls Ontario.
Let the adventure begin !

This little cutie is one of five adventurous ducklings recently born to an injured duck in Bushy Park pond. Mum had a hard job keeping track of them as they skittered around exploring their dangerous new world.
Update: When I arrived at Bushy Park this morning I saw a heron swooping over the pond with what looked like a duckling in its beak, but when I put the photos onto my computer and blew them up I saw it was a fish. Mother duck's protection attacks on the bigger bird have been successful up to now.

Don't mind me, I'm halfway through Series 2 of Star Trek The Original Series. I got interested after going to see 84 yo Wiliam Shatner at his live show recently.

Being adventurous while walking the dogs has led me to some interesting places and potential photo spots right next to home.
This is important to me, since I see these areas all the time, it's easy to subconsciously write them off as boring.
Here's to see the familiar as new.
