Inspiration...





I have been following Stephen Baird's blog. Stephen is a wonderful, prolific photographer who seems to travel a LOT. His photos are inspiring. If you have time, take a look at his site.

In the meantime, I thought I'd post a some of my Oregon shots. What a beautiful country. The diversity of this state is unbelievable. Anyone who can, should visit Oregon. I'm posting an ocean scene sunset, a lighthouse shot, a shot taken in the Redwoods on the southern most tip of the Oregon Coast (my husband is in the one shot) and a shot of a conch tree we found. It was covered from top to bottom with conchs. Some of the shots were taken in the fog. (There is a lot of mist and fog in this area of Oregon.)

Home Sweet Home...




A while back, Jo (Majority of Two) wrote that she was interested in motorhomes. I was tempted, but perhaps too embarrassed to respond. Following my recent days of learning that it is we who create our 'home' and not the home that creates us, I am now ready to confess.

I have always been a person who put roots down deep. This began early during my growing up years in Iowa. While I enjoyed traveling, I always loved coming 'home'. Well, our lives have changed during the past few years and we now find ourselves living full-time in an RV! In the beginning I didn't want to tell anyone that our home on wheels was our 'home' period. My husband was more comfortable with the situation and willingly told new friends that we were 'homeless'. It's been a year and a half now, so I guess it's time to accept our situation. We live full-time in an RV and are blessed.

We have met so many wonderful people who are living life in their RV's as well. The American Spirit is alive and well and, yes, some of us are living in recreational vehicles!
