weekly photo challenge: yellow
Show us what “yellow” means to you.
These are the words from the folks at the Daily Post for this week’s photo challenge.
We could hardly pass up the opportunity to share our first ever rubber duck race in Burgos, Spain during our Camino. The river was dotted yellow except for sections where the ducks got a little caught up with one another.
That was the close up!
And now for the view down the river.
One of the more quirky yet fun “events” we have seen.
Enjoy the weekend and week ahead!
Have you ever witnessed a quirky event? Share us your thoughts and comments.

I keeph hearing about these rubber duck races though I’ve never seen one myself – they sound so fun and quirky! I love those vibrant yellows!

We had never heard of it until that day when we turned up to the river only to find hundreds of people milling around. What a rather unusual and amusing thing to witness 🙂 Thanks so much for stopping by. Hope you are well and have a wonderful festive season.

So cute! 🙂
December 22, 2014 at 10:00 pm
We were stunned at the amount of them… this was probably 1/100th of the numbers floating down 🙂
December 20, 2014 at 10:38 pm
I love this! It is a sight I would certainly love to witness. Great post and response to the photo challenge. 🙂
December 22, 2014 at 10:01 pm

oh how fun = and what a great idea – we have seen these in pools but never open streams – 🙂
December 20, 2014 at 7:48 pm
We had never seen anything like it so it certainly took us by surprise when we saw the crowds hovering over bridges and running alongside the river/stream. It was rather entertaining 🙂
December 20, 2014 at 10:39 pm
and hti sis why I follow your blog – to get a taste of what ya’ll see when you travel – and that is why the wise monkeys blog – to share with us – and okay, I am getting cheesy (make that quacky)with this – better run along now
💞✌

Awww… Yvette! You are making us blush, smile and all fuzzy wuzzy inside 🙂 Thank you so much for your generous words!
December 20, 2014 at 5:34 pm
How cute, and perfect for the challenge. What a fun race.
December 20, 2014 at 7:49 pm
It was very cute! We really were pleasantly surprised to see it 🙂 Hope you are well and have an incredible week ahead and enjoying the festive season.
December 20, 2014 at 7:59 pm
Thanks. I’m enjoying being on holidays. Best wishes to you too.

Look at those rubber duckies go! All down the stream at their own pace! It reminds me of the rubber duck races in Sydney (along the harbour?) So cute 😀
December 20, 2014 at 7:50 pm
We have NEVER seen the ones in Sydney – you got to be joking?! Sometimes we think that we live under a rock in Sydney – totally oblivious to what goes one around us! Hope you enjoy the festive season 🙂
December 20, 2014 at 7:58 pm
Nope. Have a look:

There’s probably a few of these events around each year. Also I believe this year there was a giant rubber ducky down at Paramatta. Maybe you should try going down to one 🙂
December 20, 2014 at 8:06 pm
Thanks Mabel. OMG – We are feeling totally sheepish right now that we overlook Sydney SO much. 2015 – we are going to have to play tourist in our city more…. let Sydney shine 🙂
December 20, 2014 at 8:09 pm
Hope you get to see one of the duck races in Sydney soon. Bring your city to us 😀 Sometimes there are rubber duck races on Australia Day too (in the other states). That is very cool 🙂
December 20, 2014 at 8:18 pm
Done! We will bring Sydney to our readers… or at least try to 🙂 We get so caught up on visiting places we haven’t been that we forget there is a city to see right on our doorstep. Thanks Mabel for reminding us and for giving us the nudge.

The most quirky thing I’ve seen was a cane toad race in North Queensland. The person who bet on the winner had to kiss it. Ugh!
They are not attractive critters: http://www.picsearch.com/Cane-Toads-pictures.html
December 20, 2014 at 7:51 pm
Yikes!! Kissing cane toads?? No way – that is not an incentive to win… 😉 That is definitely a quirky kinds race and prize!
December 20, 2014 at 8:52 am
Wow!
December 20, 2014 at 7:52 pm
🙂 Thanks for stopping by!
December 20, 2014 at 8:12 am
What fun this would be to see? A real yellow spectacle.
December 20, 2014 at 7:54 pm
It was amusing 🙂 We had no idea what was going on… in the distance, we could see these little yellow things heading downstream so we asked a local what was going on and he explained a duck race… and we thought they were REAL ducks until we saw what they really were! Hehehe.
Thanks for stopping by and we hope you have a wonderful festive season.
December 20, 2014 at 7:57 pm
And best wishes to you for the festive season as well. 🙂
December 20, 2014 at 8:09 am
Brilliant 🙂 Happy Christmas, L&D. I’ve enjoyed the ride with you this year and look forward to 2015 🙂
December 20, 2014 at 7:55 pm
Thanking you K! It has definitely been a wonderful year for us too – both following you and having you following us along! Forge great friendships with people we know only through their blog. We wish you a happy Christmas also and a fabulous 2015.

In my hometown they have a duck race in the city pond as well. However it is pretty boring compared to a race in a river!
December 20, 2014 at 7:56 pm
Really? We had never heard of this before so were quite surprised by it. Beginning to think we may the only ones in the world who haven’t seen one before 🙂
Hope you guys enjoy the festive season.
December 20, 2014 at 11:11 pm
I dont know how common those duck races are because I first time heard about it this year in my hometown. They appearently do it already for six years or so 🙂
December 20, 2014 at 7:55 am
they do that around here too Berkeley CA but I’ve never seen it great shots. I don’t usually pass my post on but I did Rubber duckies too http://piecesofstarlight.wordpress.com/2014/12/19/weekly-photo-challenge-lets-play-with-yellow/
December 20, 2014 at 7:57 pm
Awesome!! Thanks for sharing your entry too – we will go check it out. Don’t get more yellow than those rubber ducks right? 🙂
Have a great weekend ahead!
