I really appreciate all of your comments and encouragement in yesterday's post.

I have to say that the wrong turn I talked about set me on a path where I met my best friend. And where I met Richard, who inspired me to pick up a camera again. And taught me a lot and loaned me gear and took me with him on photo shoots. I wonder if I would be taking photos like this if I had gone that other route instead?

Maybe it wasn't a wrong turn, just that this was the path I was meant to be on.

Anyway...I was a also a math geek in high school and working in accounting is like working a big math puzzle. So it fits me. :)

By the way, yesterday's bones was my favorite stress reliever - a slinky. I don't know what it is about a slinky but when I see one, I have to pick it up and play with it. :) And who can be stressed when you are playing?

Maybe it's not the wrong path, but more like taking the scenic route. And I am a huge fan of the slinky. Whenever I see one, I pick it up and start singing to myself.. "It's slinky, slinky.. fun for a girl or a boy". dweiskir · 2007-11-15: 16:24

I'd agree with dweiskir! Just the scenic route! Life is funny sometimes. Fabulous shots. I didn't even think about it being a slinky! I absolutely love those. ????? · 2007-11-15: 19:59

life carries you odd places. i think, though, that as long as you keep scanning the horizon, you discover new routes. that's how it's worked for me. chipotle · 2007-11-16: 09:33
