August 24, 2006

Thursday's Totally Informal Transglobal Challenge:
"Transport" - Trains, boats, planes, cars, surfboards,
roller skates, feet... whatever!

Her name is Shibumi.
Shibumi is transportation, shelter, recreation, and an important part of the family.
We spend our winters aboard searching for warmer climes.
During tropical storm and hurricane season she remains tied behind our home patiently waiting her next voyage.


This photo is a six panel stitch.
