200 — Enlightenment

I’ve been trying for quite some time to think of a way to mark this milestone in the blog I’ve kept since 2014, but have until recently, come up empty. And with this recent trip to Acadia National Park in Maine, I would have normally added entries each day as I have in the past when the blog morphs into a journal that I have always kept for these “photo” trips going way back to the days when they were handwritten on paper. But that would be rather inauspicious; and the 200th post seems to be one that cries out for commemoration.

It was during this one week trip that it finally dawned on me, that there can be life outside photography on these trips. That being in the company of others can make a world of difference in the rewards and enjoyment that I experienced; and if they are folks you already know, those shared experiences can strengthen a bond and possibly foster a friendship. So, from the far reaches of my heart, I would like to thank those who sparked this enlightenment in me. You know who you are.
