Today's Motion GIF from Senagajima: Windsurfers

They put on a great show, even when it's a little cloudy outside.

Tourists, visiting Senaga Island, get a quick class and they learn how to sail those things.

Once upon a time, I tried windsurfing.

After about 25 attempts at standing on the board and, lifting the sail the thing took-off.

Nobody showed me how to steer and, a big wind came along.

At the time, I didn't really feel like visiting China and, that's the direction, I was going.

So, I jumped off and paddled back to Okinawa.

Then, I finished my beer and went home.

Travel Photo: Where We Were a Year Ago Today

Take a Look Back and See Where You Were

 

 

Shooting digital cameras, every day, is a great way to record your personal history. 

There's no need to write the day's events down.

The camera, does all that stuff for you.

This photo of windsurfers was taken on today's date in 2013.

My shooting buddy Doc and I stopped by Senaga Island, just south of Naha Airport.

We had been farther south, checking on birds in Tomigusuku.

And, discovered that some Black-faced Spoonbills had migrated to Okinawa.

Who knows? 

 With all the global warming and chilling, going on, they could already be here again.

The year went by, incredibly fast and, reminded me of this song.

Now, I'm not sure it's funny. But time sure does, slip away !
