Found this book from the 60s. Love the beginning: "Children are natural explorers. They have the true explorer's interest in their immediate surroundings as well as in faraway places, and they are eager to know why things are as they are." Amen.
Another escape of mine? Scuba diving.
My dive buddies (aka my dad and sister) and I spent this past Friday exploring the Fathom Five National Marine Park. A MUST DIVE for any avid diver, that doesn't mind a bit of cold water.
The water may have been chilly, but like the cottage, once you sink below the surface, you are immersed in a different world, and your troubles dissolve away.

1// Found this gem of a puzzle at the cottage. Do you think it's a sign? #takemeback #alaska
2// Relaxation: oak heart & crossword. #cottagelife
3// Just a couple chickens doing their banking in Tobermory.
My escape is where the sky is void of city lights and it is so dark you can almost reach out and touch the stars, where is so quiet all you can hear is the crackle of the fire, the chirp of the crickets and lapping on the waves on the shore. And, there is nothing better than falling asleep to the sound of the waves. |
What's your escape?
Wow, that cabin looks so peaceful. Can I join you? ;-)
ReplyDeleteI wanna go! Looks like perfection. And yes, I think that was a sign. Did you do any diving in Alaska? We learned to Scuba Dive in AK while we were there, but waited to get certified when we went on vacation some place a little warmer. ;) Sometimes we regret not trying cold water dives, though.
