Not easy to take photos in a rocking kayak!
Yup, I went into ocean without ocean lessons...
Don't even ask how I got back to shore...
I'm LA City certified for a lake...

While I traveled to visit my grandbaby in rainy Maryland from sunny California, I shot CITYSCAPES. As a member of 52 Frames photo group, this was our week's theme. 
Turned several photos into a slide show. 1:34
