While posting those last images, I remembered the other couple that took the ferry with us--yes there were only four people on the boat. On the way from Big Cranberry Island to Little Cranberry Island, we passed the large sign with a birds nest settled in the top. As soon as it came into view, I reached for my camera. The male half of the other couple turned to me and said "I thought you said you live here" --referring to a conversation we had had about their being on vacation and Joe and I having just moved here. I understand he was just teasing me for being as camera happy as his fiance, but that sort of got me thinking. True, tourists are going to be more likely to have a camera out on an occasion such as a ferry ride, but why can't residences? Why do we only allow ourselves to pull out a camera if we're in a foreign location? I know that those times are more intriguing and are full of things to photograph, but things change so much in our own surroundings that I believe in always having a camera with me.
Hold on...this sounds a bit silly, but let's think about this seriously, take away the camera aspect which seems a bit cheesy, but really, I think there's something there. I think that people take their surroundings for granted, assuming it's always the same as it was yesterday, and the day before, and the day before. But it's not. So much changes around us every day and we let it go by without noticing the phases in between.
Ok...I"m done.
I think there's really something to be said here, but I'm not saying it very well,
On a lighter and more easily explainable fact...I bought some tea from this adorable and awesome tea shop here and it's fantastic. I'm enjoying it thoroughly.
