Last summer we took a wonderful road trip. We called it our Zoo Road Trip and I documented our adventure on Instagram and Twitter. I started to write about it here, but never quite got around to finishing. Work and school became my priorities and then it was time for the holidays. Before I knew it, six months had gone by and I figured it was in the past. No need to go back now, right? Wrong!
Writing and photography ... a perfect blending of creativity if you ask me.
This summer I will start a journey of reflection and ultimately completion.
Who cares if I am sharing stories about a trip we took last year. The California Redwoods are still standing last time I checked and maybe my story will inspire another family to embark on a journey to the Avenue of the Giants.
You see, most stories have no statute of limitations.
It does not matter how old a story is; as long as sharing the story will enrich and possibly educate others, then the story is worth telling.
People say that every picture has a story to tell. Perhaps some of my pictures could use a few words to enhance those stories. Or maybe those pictures I took of a wild dove, resting in the tree branches outside my window, will bring happiness to someone else like they did me that warm spring afternoon.
Whether I am writing about our Zoo Road Trip from 2013 or sharing photographs with a few words of wisdom, my goal this summer is to write.
To get back into my writing groove and perhaps even take some of those post-it notes I have laying around with ideas scribbled on them and turn those ideas into something worth sharing. Stick around, I think you will like what I have to share with you during my Summer of Writing.
