Gone Walkabout...

This blog was going to be about my travels and impressions I had from them. But my attention span went walkabout. And like with any good walkabout I discovered unexpected things. I invite you to come explore with me...

Noteworthy Blogs

My favorite blog posts for the last week and a half:

Very thoughtful:

A real life example of the "butterfly effect":

Maybe you'll find your butterfly here:

A reminder not to forget the little things:

My great grandmother had a large collection of postcards she brought back from her travels. Unfortunately they disappeared after certain relatives visited in her later years...

I've thought similar when photographing abandoned homes:

Another amazing repurposing make-over:

  5. Jo - your post captured with words something I'd been feeling. I always wonder about the families who lived there... especially if there are remenants of old flower gardens in the yard.

    Stevie - your post made me decide that I want to gather my most special post cards and make little notes on them for my niece and nephew to discover someday.

    Lili - I've been enjoying following your room makeover. What fun!
