So Very Thankful

Simon

For a weekend away with family. For laughter. For good food and cold
drinks. For cameras that capture more than I could ever remember. For little kids. For the ocean and fresh salty air. For
exploration. For movies about the cycle of life. For getting out of
the house and away from the routines of our everyday. For Grandparents. For
tall grass. For secret gardens. For picnics. For conversation. For hugs
and kisses. For sunshine. For possibilities.

    those are amazing pictures and love your list of gratitudes - you have inspired me to come up with my own.
    Also just wanted to say I miss the links that you had up for a while, not sure if you decided to remove that but it was a feature I was really enjoying and doesn't seem to come up with your posts anymore.

    Are you talking about the "link within" feature that linked to previous posts? I am toying with a couple things around here and am hoping to have it back up/or something similar soon.

    Ali those are some great pics. Thanks for sharing them with us. I live in Vancouver, BC and everytime you post pics of the great outdoors in Oregon I think to myself "road trip". I have been there twice but unfortunately never got to see the sites. Again, thanks for sharing.

    Awww what beautiful photos. Beautiful rocks, shells and driftwood. Love the one that kind of looks like a sand dollar. The rock backdrop is naturally stunning.
    Simon gets handsomer and handsomer as the days go by.
    Anna is supremely cute. Does she have blue eyes?
    Beautiful memories to cherish with family.
    Perfect.
    Thanks for sharing a bit of it with us.
    Take care,
    Paola
