Back in business...

...in my normal spot...so head back to http://indigomoment.typepad.com/everything_indigo/ for the shot of the day! Sorry for the inconvenience!

All This Way for a Seagull??

We headed South a little early because we had rain most of the day. We got in a looooong nap and then got a quick break in the rain...so Cody got to see the ocean for the first time. He was thrilled, but more exciting than the surf was this rat with wings...oops, I mean seagull! Cody chased him quite a ways down the beach, pointing and laughing. And my soul was soothed by the sound of the surf...it's been way too long!

Ah, fantasy!

Spent a fun, fun, fun day with Miss Margie at Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure! My husband and I love Universal and Cody seemed to enjoy himself. It was great to meet another forum friend! And we got to spend all day wandering around shooting. I'm really tired tonight, but below is my favorite from the day. We did some shooting at Tchoup Chop, a restaurant owned by Emeril Lagasse at our hotel and one of our family's favorites. What an evocative place! Saturated colors, great textures, wonderful fabrics and oh yeah, great food!

WOW, I'd forgotten how much I love to travel! We've had to cancel three or four vacations in the last several years and we are DUE!! I've never been in Georgia and it's so fun to see a new part of the country for the first time! While I love to fly (and good grief, I do love to fly...even started training for my pilot's license at one point), driving does have distinct advantages. I love to see the countryside change. My camera gear doesn't get molested by airport personnel. I can bring as many pairs of shoes as I want, guilt-free. And all my baggage arrives with me!

As I watch the environment change, listen to the accents shift, feel the air get warmer and the roadside get greener...there is one thing that doesn't change. The Stars and Stripes blowing proudly in the breeze. Despite our differences in opinion, climate, dress, speech and politics, the United States flag is a symbol that we are united by something greater than these. And what fun to see if blowing over a totally different type of foliage than I usually encounter. May God bless this country.
