Update about blog

The joy of waking to this view each morning is just so wonderful. Even if the camera sees all the distortions from the window screen, I easily ignore them. Many of these green trees stand near or by the Animas River which flows through the town.

    1. I thought of how these travelers would cross the countryside, but not be received in the same way as the "foreigners" in the Walk for Peace.

  3. That van Gogh is in our local art museum,on Princeton campus, mostly gifts from wealthy alums! I've seen it a number of times, smaller than you'd think.

    1. It certainly is precious, no matter the size. I've always had a place in my heart for travelers...no matter where they were from, or going.

  4. I love the Van Gogh--I've always coveted a Gypsy caravan,

    1. The days may be gone when we could have horse drawn caravans...and then find coves to park them in...but I think campers do still love the outdoors, campfires, dealing with bugs (Not) and rain (not) and heat...well, it is romanticized a bit in memory and paint!

    1. It goes both ways...I enjoy seeing your well captured photos of town and country-side, thanks to blogger and the internet. Otherwise my dreams of being a gypsy would have fewer images to consider!

  6. We should always remember that first quote because it's so true. Love the view of the window.

    1. Yes, any moment doing anything is the most important, last, most cherished time to do just that! I look more to the verbs in life these days, less to the nouns (people, things etc.)
