Therapy

Driving is my therapy. And photos. Whenever I have an off day, I drive. And almost always, 99% of the time, I have my camera with me. When I drive, I take photos. (I've actually gotten some pretty cool shots off while driving- and NOT looking! At the shot that is. I'm still looking at the road.) I stop and take photos. I reverse and take photos. I get lost, on purpose, and take photos. To clear my mind. To focus on something else. Usually they're nothing. Sometimes they're something. Something that catches my eye. I might delete them. I might not. Some I like. Some I keep. Some make me proud. Some I work for. Today I needed a drive. So I took photos. These are the ones that made the cut. =) Hope you enjoy.

One of the first ones I took was of this car. It caught my eye cuz of what was tied to that back. Are those hula hoops? In various sizes? I haven't a clue, but like i said, sometimes my photos are nothing. lol




Passed thru a tunnel.










I'm lucky enough to live in very close driving
distance to the beach. Usually my drives lead me there.
Found a neighborhood. Nice garden.



Near that neighborhood, there was a park. Eh sort of a park. Didn't have alot of steady land for visiting. No where to sit but rocks and tree trunks. No play area. But it did have a bridge. Which was the reason for my stop. I liked it. It had tall trees. Leaves everywhere. Creek towards the bottom. (Actually it was just from a sewer.) And I found a friend. Ok he found me. I could hear him tho. haha



































Found some color among the green.















Speaking of color. In that neighborhood, I found this house. Talk about color! Magenta walls. Sherbert orange chimeny. Teal window seals. And purple trimming. Oh my!


Said bridge.

















My reflection in 'creek'.













Upon arriving to beach... or coast rather...





Kinda cool right. Think about it... Alone. At the edge of the earth.

Driving shot. Not bad. Darn bush was in the way tho.















Ok I think I should be heading home. I'm going to be losing the sunlight in a matter of minutes. Literally. Until next adventure. For the road... my goodbye photos.


Home.

  1. Cool pictures. Make sure you pay attention to the road while driving! We like the multi colored house. Maybe they got a bunch of free paint samples? lol

  2. I like that you picked a great way to step out of the world, and living there are great places to escape. Cool pictures...not a bad idea to always carry a camera.
