Thirty Day Photo Meme - Day 1

As promised, I'm starting another round of the Thirty-Day Photo Meme. I've been missing your feedback and interaction and I hope you enjoy these photos and the commentary enough to let me know.

Day 1 - A Photo With Water In It


Canon Beach, Oregon
February, 2003
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
My dear friend, David, is one of the most gregarious people I know and one of the great joys in his life is introducing one set of friends to another set. At the time this picture was taken, I had known David for about a decade and had been a frequent visitor to his home in Seattle. On this particular trip, he took me down to coastal Oregon to introduce me to two of his oldest friends, Connie and Mike, who he’d known for close to forty years. Despite our age difference, he thought we’d have a lot in common.

He was right. Mike was a linguistic anthropologist and his wife, Connie, was an artist who loved to feed people. The weekend was magical. And of course, the setting didn’t hurt. David got me up a little after dawn for a walk along the beach, which was when I took this photograph.

That's an evocative photo, and it has a wonderful story.

Beautiful! I have a sudden yearning to visit Oregon, or at the very least a beach somewhere.

Having lived within easy reach of a beach until I was 40, it's sometimes tough to be landlocked now.

Beautiful photo with a beautiful story!

In keeping with its aquatic setting, this rock and it's reflection look like a giant fish to me!

I am so glad you have chosen to do another round of photos. Looking forward to the rest of the month.

I agree with Joy about friendship. I have reconnected with family and friends that I lost touch with over the years. Facebook helps span the distance especially over 3000 miles.

My sister has 4 friends she's known for over 50 years. She lost touch with one of them and managed to reconnect. When she was at her 40th high school reunion, they took pictures of the 5 of them.

The picture and the story compliment each other beautifully.

This is breathtaking.

And phallic.

But I digress. *g*

Love the story behind the photo as well!

Home. <3

Yeah, we're going to have to end up on the ocean again here after a bit. We'll see if that can be in CA; the Oregon coast has been home over and over again. I just wish there were little cities over there rather than small towns. I do and I don't.

Thank you for sharing that. The friends do sound like lovely people. :-)
