Cruise -- Prelude

The following posts include some of my favourite shots from the cruise I was on with my mother.  What I found fascinating while I reviewed the photos was what I discovered about myself.  Since I didn't have my kids with me, I had to turn to other subjects to shoot.  I took thousands of photos, and deleted most when I returned to the cabin each night.  Upon return home, I had 400 photos which I whittled down to 300, most of which will be put on Facebook and even fewer printed for the album.  The following posts contain a maximum of three photos, and a description of what I saw and why I was fascinated by it.  I hope at least one of these photos captures you as much as they captivated me.
