Board Walks.&.Bike Rides

Week 28 in the world of Operation Narwhal was devoted to one of my favorite modes of transportations- bicycles! and not just any bikes, beach cruisers :) If you have ever spent any time at the Jersey shore, it becomes obvious fairly quickly that beach culture and bikes go hand and hand quite nicely.

Week 29 was inspired by an evening spent on the docks of the local marina.  Each boat had its own plank, and each plank was unique in some way. So the week features a mix of some of those planks as well as other shots of the awesome texture that is woodgrain.

Hit the nail on the head.

Well due to technical difficulties and life i.ve been out of blogging commission for about 2 weeks now so i.m thinking it.s definitely about time for an update from Operation Narwhal.
