Distance

This is clearly not the Arboretum. This is the first time in 15 years of blogging that I’ve not used a local image, which is probably of no significance to anyone but me.

I was visiting my oldest friend and we drove to the coast of Oregon on a windy day, not nearly as much uproar as this image suggests. I think that’s just how it works on the Oregon coast. Lots of rocks and lots of water crashing against them.

Such a contrast to our coast and certainly a contrast to my neighborhood! Even the look of the clouds seems different, but that may just be that I was surrounded by a constant amazement of being somewhere that occasionally looks so foreign.

The joy for me of traveling to twofold: seeing places that stretch me to understand my world and coming home to my familiar territory!
