Maybe I am finally feeling free to join back in and get back into life. Though I do not think I am alone in this and admitting the last 3 1/2 years took an unknown toll on many if not most.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Oxygen;">So, I am finding new adventures. From seeing the CA Missions that I have yet to explore, to simple walks on the beach, whether at sunrise or sunset to going to a racetrack to watch club cars on the track. The latter which we did this weekend. Since we follow motorcycle racing, I am not unfamiliar with the racetrack and motorsports, but it was a thrill to watch the drivers go out and practice their skills at Laguna Seca Raceway in Monterey CA. From novice to experienced, any time on the track is an experience.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Oxygen;">My husband and I, both, have had our own track time there and so we reminisced listening to the car talk.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

font-size: medium;"><b>When</b> plans change and you have an opportunity, we have learned to take it as it might not come again. Since we had not unloaded our RV from a previous short trip, we repacked a few essentials and left for the mountains. This is a trip we used to do on a Friday after work. We would pack an overnight back, load them on our motorcycles and head to Visalia for the night. We would get up early and ride into Sequoia National Park before the majority of visitors were even up. That afforded us clear roads, time enough to ride through Giants and into Kings Canyon and home by late afternoon.</span><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Amarante; font-size: medium;">This time, no motorcycle and staying in 3 Rivers for a few days so we could drive in and out at our leisure. We still went in early, cooler temps, as it stayed warmer than expected and again fewer people.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Amarante; font-size: medium;">Our first stop was along side the road as we climbed up the mountain side on the road which was constructed in 1926 to accommodate vehicles. The original road was made in 1903.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Amarante; font-size: medium;">As we came around a corner, I noticed something black in an Oak tree. As we got closer, I noticed it was a small Black Bear. Eating acorns, high in the tree. So we stopped, I changed lenses so I could hopefully get a picture from a distance. Since the bear was small, I was sure there was a mama bear close by.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Amarante;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Nr8VhxAv5Rc/X51-C_6owiI/AAAAAAAAhHI/spb5UbjfuY8ZtV0ZBGiOlmB2JVOKdV6xACLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/Breakfast%2BTime%2B2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" height="426" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Nr8VhxAv5Rc/X51-C_6owiI/AAAAAAAAhHI/spb5UbjfuY8ZtV0ZBGiOlmB2JVOKdV6xACLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h426/Breakfast%2BTime%2B2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ps2gSRoP6Ro/X51-FPkWVxI/AAAAAAAAhHM/GcKrrggscr0qx_2CocvpvBG1NuIdrTKrgCLcBGAsYHQ/s2048/Breakfast%2BTime.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" height="426" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ps2gSRoP6Ro/X51-FPkWVxI/AAAAAAAAhHM/GcKrrggscr0qx_2CocvpvBG1NuIdrTKrgCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h426/Breakfast%2BTime.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: Amarante;"><br /></span><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Amarante; font-size: medium;">The air was still very smoky so the skies were very hazy.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Amarante;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_SrNpmeN-B4/X52AL3aEpvI/AAAAAAAAhHc/imuIdEJKRu8x4z7qnm2-Cnse4aoy6U1NgCLcBGAsYHQ/s2000/Smoky%2BSkies.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1333" data-original-width="2000" height="426" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_SrNpmeN-B4/X52AL3aEpvI/AAAAAAAAhHc/imuIdEJKRu8x4z7qnm2-Cnse4aoy6U1NgCLcBGAsYHQ/w640-h426/Smoky%2BSkies.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: Amarante;"><br /></span><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Amarante;"><br /></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Amarante; font-size: medium;">The next stop was through the Giants and the General Sherman Tree.

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">So here we are at the end of October 2018</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We, my husband and I, are taking advantage of our time by connecting and reconnecting with family.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We started in 2016 by heading east to take in family from Florida to North Carolina, Alabama, Virginia and South Carolina. Found a 2nd cousin on my husbands side in New Mexico as we made our way cross country.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Traveling with our RV, a travel trailer (apartment on wheels) has been a great choice for us. We get to take all that we not only need, but want.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">All of my photography equipment, computer, etc. and a guitar or two.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This last month, our destination was to reconnect with a cousin of Terry's that he had not seen in many, many years and meet his wife and daughter for the first time.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But in between, we celebrated an anniversary with close friends in Nevada, and then traveled to Idaho and discovered a mysterious land we had not heard of.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.800000190734863px;"><span style="font-size: small;">Here it is over 4 years since we sold the business, Terry had his accident that took 4 years to heal and I continued to work the first year, on and off the 2nd and totally out by the end of 2017. And here it August of 2018.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">I continue to take many, many images of life all around me. I find it pure joy. Although I do miss being in the Gallery in Morro Bay with other artists. One day...I hope to get myself "back out there".</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">It has been so long since I blogged, that I am not really sure what to do with this. So, for now, I will continue to post and share what I am seeing out there in the hopes that it somehow reaches out and into you.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">I welcome any feedback and thoughts.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Keeping it positive.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I may not have met each day, but it always brings to the forefront the many things I have to be thankful for.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It has been simple this year, sometimes repetitive, but it is what it is.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A good exercise for all year. But normally, in the past, it was in a journal.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I know for all of us, life is a journey through ups and downs, no exceptions.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But the common thread through the month of thankfulness is...family, first and foremost...and my friends</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My posts will not be daily, but I will continue to share my journey through my photos, which always tell a story in itself.</span></div>
