These legs weren’t made for photographs

These legs weren’t made for photographs. They carry maps in purple and yellow, edges of tables, missed steps, one more mile than planned.

Oh Buoy! – Keeping Your New Hobby

I've recently discovered a love of kayaking. Last year, I purchased a hot pink Origami Paddler.
