I went on a walk to the marina. My camera’s battery died about 5 minutes into it, so these are the pictures I got from my camera phone.
A walk in the woods, nothing better than it being near the harbor too. I have a cool story to share about this later in another blog post.
Before it died, I got a picture of these images on my way to the marina:
I love signs:
An old church:
and this little quote in a shop nearby was my favorite. I really did feel like it was Just another day in paradise. The only thing to make it better would have been to have my husband with me. But I did enjoy the solitude, I think we all need to get at least a few hours alone to ourselves often. At least once a week! That’s going to be my goal. And I mean QUALITY alone time, not just shopping, or studying. Go on a walk, go to the mountains. My only regret is that I don’t get to live near the beach to make it REALLY meaningful to me like this time in Connecticut I had. There’s beauty in the water that I think comes down to me through my generations of ancestors that LIVED with the water constantly around them, it was a part of their lives, and there’s definitely a feeling of missing something living here in Utah.
A man sort of perplexed me, after I took that picture he was walking out the door of the shop and he said, “Pictures are for people that don’t believe”. I don’t know if his implication was that if you have to take a picture, you have to make yourself believe it. Well, I look at things with an artists eye. When I see beauty, I want to capture it. I want to be able to remember it, and I can’t trust my memories to serve me well. That is why people write poems, sing songs, read, paint, create art, and yes... take pictures. Because we appreciate the beauty so much we have to capture it. We want it to last forever, and not just in that moment. What do you think?
