Someplace I've been...Well, I don't go places that sound great on paper. I travel a lot, but not around the world. In the last year I've been to Portland, Seattle, Santa Barbara, Boise, and all over Wyoming, Utah and Idaho. I've been to Zion and Yellowstone. I'm not saying it wasn't great fun, I'm just saying that most people don't dream of the places I've been to. Most people don't get to see the things that I do either.
I'm kind of a loner, and that doesn't in any way make me sad. When I go on vacation I like to connect to nature in whatever environment I'm in. I find there is a surprising amount of solitude in large crowds and even though I rode a lot of public transit and was traveling with my family in the Northwest, I quite enjoyed the time to myself.
When I took the picture above of the Pacific Ocean, everyone else was in the car whining because it was cold and boring. All I could think of is how fresh the air is when you are standing on the beach with the breakers rolling in, and even though I was taking a picture of it I would never describe the sherbet color the sky turns to another person accurately.
There are lots of other places I'd like to see, and I probably will. I'm not driven by a need to travel the world, but I do enjoy a good road trip.
