It’s good to be back home again in my little house in the woods. Now that I’m home and the trip is behind me, I can say that it was a great trip! I always hesitate to speak too soon and risk something going wrong. Perhaps I am a tad superstitious. I’ve got lots of great new images that I’m excited to share. I finally got the truck unpacked and camping equipment put away. The next week or so will be spent in front of the computer, editing & organizing images, adding them to the website and perhaps even going back and adding a few to the blog so you can see what I’ve been talking about. I will also be sending out an email newsletter with some new 2010 shows. If you haven’t received one of my newsletters, drop me an email or sign up on my homepage at www.LoriDavisPhotography.Com. I only send out two newsletters every year, one in the spring and one in the fall.
The last few days of travel, I was able to visit with family in Connecticut. Everyone is doing well. I wish there had been a bit more time to visit. I would like to thank everyone that allowed us to crash at their homes and spare Cindi (and myself) a night of tent camping and cooking on the camp stove. I’m happy to say that my travel companion and I are still great friends! It’s amazing what Cindi’s home baked cookies and the right amount of dark chocolate can do to improve travel conditions! We’re already talking about a trip together to Arizona next winter… we’ll see. Thank you as well to Kathy & Jim Bridge and Bill Snow. Without their offers to care for four legged critters in my absence, this trip never could have happened.
I was welcomed home to Maine by a bald eagle soaring over the truck as I got close to my house. The setting sun lit him just beautifully! What a sight to see. I felt as if he was there welcoming me back home again. Of course, I knew he wasn’t. But, I’ve learned over the years to savor every gift that is presented in this way and not to just dismiss it because of a busy day or rushing moment. It’s good to be home.
