I'm going on an adventure!

This page has become an archive. For new stuff visit my website: www.swordwhale.com or my other tumblr: http://swordwhale.tumblr.com/ or my wordpress blog: https://swordwhale.wordpress.com/ There you will find a combination of fandom, fantasy, art, musings, nature, animals, and outdoor adventures you could be doing too. Meanwhile, there are some good pics here... Kayaking to the Petroglyph Island, spending Halloween (and one earthquake) on a pirate ship, mushing picturesquely down a park trail until your lead dogs go "SQUIRREL!"... All of these are possible with a little imagination and less money. Most of these photos & tales are from the Chesapeake Bay region, east coast USA. As a local outfitter says: go outside and play!

bike-joring on the Rail Trail with Lynn, Hank and Daisy

first time on the bike for Hank and Daisy (they’d pulled the three-wheeled rig before)

first time for Leggy running with them, he’s kind of obnoxious with other males (even though all are neutered)

Daisy’s superhero name might be DaisyTurbo:agent of SHIELD
