Vacation

If we would only give, just once, the same amount of reflection to what we want to get out of life that we give to the question of what to do with a two weeks' vacation, we would be startled at our false standards and the aimless procession of our busy days.
~ Dorothy Canfield Fisher

Every once in a while I will take a day off just to go out and take pictures. I've always gone by myself -- or maybe with Ripley -- and just wandered around. My favorite times of the year are in the fall and spring.








It's amazing how much energy I get from that.

Sometimes, though, there is stress that comes along with the adventure. Last Monday I took the day off and went to a few small towns around here. Sometimes I see things I want to photograph, but I worry about getting too close for fear that someone will freak out. These are a couple of images of someone's garage doors. They're really cool, but it was the kind of house where you thought it best not to trespass.
