(A paragraph beyond)Wordless Wednesday


My absolute favorite thing about traveling, no matter how near or far it may be, is that there is always something new, something different about the place you're in compared to where you came from.  I love to experience things I never have before.  But my dad, he likes the familiar.  When we're somewhere different, like when we went to El Paso, he wants to be in the places where everything is most like home. This seems completely strange to me. I want to experience anything and everything I can of this new places culture and and all it has to offer. But maybe, for some, home is the best place they could ever think to be. They don't need to look for greener pastures because they are already exactly where they want to be. What a strong sense of contentment that must come with. 
Perhaps, there's something to be said about that.

Found this cool idea at  http://lifeaccordingtojanandjer.blogspot.com/2012/10/fridays-fences-55.html Every Friday, you post a picture of a fence, close -up, far away, the view through a fence, whatever. Just has to be a fence. Took this picture several years ago at a graduation party in a park. The camera had a permanent water spot somewhere in the middle of the lens, but the out-of focus parts of this photo camouflage it. It does, however, show up in other pictures, front and center. Some of my favorite pictures of mine have a big old blur smack dab in the middle of all the almost-perfection. Grrr.
