Swedish Way

Over water, to Sweden once again.
Where watery places await discovery.
Some of the inhabitants dried up long ago.

Washing machine inards, once wet with laundry, rested after finding new employment as lobster traps.
And,
elegant relics from other ages lingered on.
We relax in our hotel room.
And fulfil our dreams window shopping in Stockholm.

A cozy spot for one.

Another finds a place closer to the action.
Then, it's off to the forest. Where golden treasure awaits.
The prize bounty!

Wandering the streets once more,

wondering what might linger beyond that curve in the road.

A pastry shop?

Make that a double cappucino please.

But linger not too long. Got to be moving on.

Small Visitors

Small visitors arrived on Planet Kri Kri at the beginning of April.

They emerged from clay and were clothed in colors of glaze.

One new friend thought that coffee had gone to his head.

The two cats agreed.

The tiny wizard could not be reached.
... His mind was else where.

He would be leaving soon to Philadelphia. There was a Small Favour to do.

woodland wander

Into the forest they went, one day.

It was beautiful.
They felt different!
This world was magic!
Entangled;enthralling...

We felt small and happy...
content to be alive in the smells of the forest.

Not everything was edible.
The hunt was on for the elusive chanterelle!

Other things were found, though not edible, and were admired for texture.

and for color
The pursuit continued.

Reindeer moss harbored these elegant specimens. Skirted with soft ruffled folds.

Onward, searching, we went.

And yes, success was ours that day.

Reaping a bounty that we all could share. Yum!

Welcome!

Please welcome the Nigel Foster Kayak Store!

Nigel and I have collaborated on this project to gather together the multitude of items that Nigel has created, from kayaks and books to DVDs.

We will have the deck bags for paddles that we designed for our trip in Labrador.

And, you can even purchase Nigel's latest kayak designs through the Nigel Foster Kayak Store, the infamous "Whisky 16" and the "Double Shot", both produced by Point 65 in 2008.

We are excited to put this impressive collection together in one place and look forward to adding more items in the future.

Expect Kri Kri espresso cups and coffee kit...

and perhaps a new book!
We invite you to visit today!

Reflections 2008

Boggled by the idea of bLOG entry...


When a small file titled "reflections" reveals itself.
I am thus inspired to recollect the year.
It was surreal...

A midnight journey to the haunted house in Iceland, lingering memories of spirits drifting over the water.

Loosing ourselves, double crossing bridges and twisting through Venice. Romance and mystery lurking in murky waters.

The on going Scandinavian saga of a company, Point 65
expanding and morphing, creating and recreating itself and kayak adventure.

Looking back, peering in.

Having fun with a new perspective on things!
Consider; reconsider the past.

Visualize the future... Welcoming 2009!

Colorful People!

I saw these 2 girls
walking, in Germany. Since I don't speak German, I used body language to get them to follow me.



I thought that they should try kayaking and suggested these boats by Point 65

It is fun when your boat matches your outfit!

They said they would think about it.

...I think I might try something new with my hair.
