If only I could escape....

Sometimes I wish I could just leave.  Run away. Travel.  Escape.

It's not because I really want to run away.  More of just something calling me.  I want to be out.  Somewhere quiet and undisturbed.  If you've never seen Jason Bell's website, you should check it out.

He's one of my heros.  Really.  The landscapes are particularly amazing.  They make me feel small and insignificant.  They show me that there is so much out there I haven't experienced (or photographed).

There's just something about his photography that is inspiring, and humbling.  It makes me want to go.  Explore.  And just be.

And, of course,  I'd take my camera.

Beauty is Everywhere...

I always have my camera with me.  My daughters even tease me about it.  I can't help it.

I see the world through a lens.  I see beauty everywhere.

On the rare occasion I don't have my camera handy I always regret it.

What am I afraid of?  I know I miss things.  They're are so many awe-inspiring places, structures and landscapes.

    My dream?

   To be able to travel and take pictures.  It's the outdoors that appeal to me.

Too much time inside and I have to escape.   The walls close in on me and I get stressed and anxious.

The best medicine is the beauty of the outdoors.  Nature is my therapy.

As long as I have my camera along...
