Ok, since I decidedly FAIL at being a stable, dependable blog poster, I'm going to try something new. I've been going through all of our travel pictures lately, working on photo books of our trips, and it has made me want to share some of these shots with you. Ironically, lately it's been working on the photo books that has kept me from having time to post blogs, but that's a catch-22 that might just work in all of our favor because it was just the inspiration I needed. The hardest part of blogging for me is deciding what to include in a post. I want to show you EVERYTHING! I want you to see, hear, taste, smell, feel what it was like to BE there. But I'm already limited to words and pictures (I'm convinced that some day you'll be able to upload other things to your blog to share. Aren't you glad they hadn't perfected some sort of blog-scent-sharing technology before my "no free lunch" post? If you're not, you should be!). And as anyone who has every traveled with me (or looked at my pictures afterward) knows, I take waaaaaaay too many pictures. Digital storage is so cheap these days, I just can't seem to keep myself to a minimum. So of course I can't post all of them here, and believe me, you wouldn't want me to.
But that is the beauty of my new idea: "Picture of the day." Just one picture - that's it. And there's no sense stressing about which one to use because I can post another one tomorrow. And the day after that and the one after that and... Ok, you get the idea. Oh, yes, and also it should be hard for to drone on and on about just one picture. (Notice I said
should - this is me we're talking about.)
I'll still try to put up "normal" blog posts every now and then, but, with my track record, at least you'll get a few dozen pictures in between my bi-monthly posts.
And without further ado
the first Picture of the Day
for Dec 2, 2011 is...
This is Uluwatu Temple in Bali, Indonesia. Absolutely gorgeous. We went there last January, and that just shows you how behind I am. As you can see, the Hindu temple is set on the edge of a cliff overlooking the Indian Ocean. It was so beautiful.
