I was going through
my computer files today and I got sidetracked. I had started to clean
out redundant files and documents and general clutter then I saw a
photo. That led me to another photo and soon I was cruising along on
a photo journey from the time we arrived here in Virginia to
yesterday when I was taking better photos of the twig vase project.
The Twig Vase
It was remarkable to
follow our adventures and travels through the seasons all seen
through the lens of cameras. They are truly something to be thankful
for. Sometimes I think we take them for granted, the digital age has
made it so instant and easy to chronicle everything. The camera I
arrived here was a little Fuji S700 and it was the first camera I had
ever owned that was digital. It took photos all along the
epic trip through the center of this country on our way to start this
new life. It has been replaced by an incredible Christmas gift from
Ralph, a Nikon Coolpix P510.

As I continued along
the photo trail, through seasons, snowstorms and rain.
A heavy snow last February.
Past old
houses overgrown and abandoned, along frothy streams beside the
highway I realized how much a camera does...it is more than a
snapshot of a moment.
It is a reminder of where we have been, it
makes you think of other things as well...old homes make you think of
who lived there. Did children grow up happy here? Did they go on to make
their own way in the world.

A stream captured for posterity...how
many trout have slipped around rocks and crevices while the waters
found their way to the sea?

The photo journey
made me realize how lucky we are and how thankful I am to have a good
camera to capture time for me!
