...memories...
Monday, March 28, 2011
I've been going through old folders on my removable hard drive and I'm shocked at the number of images that I never get to. An by "never get to" I mean...some of them I've never even seen. I download them and then never have time to even look all the way through them. One of these never before seen photos is the blurry photo of myself above. Stacey must have taken it. I really like it...probably because it is blurry, and those are the only photos of myself that I like...hmmm...that's not really why though. I like it because it reminds me.
We were talking the other day about this stay in Seaside, OR and how much fun it was. Randomly, I had loaded this folder onto my desktop a few days before with the intention of looking through them...I hadn't even seen them all. I love this one because I had no idea it existed or that it was taken... so when I see it, I remember being there. The spontaneous walk down to the water even though we shouldn't have gotten the kids all wet right before we were to go out to eat. I can feel the wind and the cool air. The relief of just arriving at our vacation spot. The freezing water and the cold sand weren't a deterrent...it's actually what I love about the Oregon coast. I wish we were there now...all packed into "our beach house" as we called the rental house(and still do) . Windows open... sea breeze...Rock Em' Sock Em' Robots...Sunday dinner...card games at night...smores...walks to the beach...
I may not be able to go back today but I can edit these photos and remember. It's a good reminder about the reason I first picked up a camera......for the memories.
