I’m off to Dayton, Ohio!

Today I’m travelling most of the way across the country to Dayton, Ohio. In my real life I earn a living as an Aerospace Engineer. I’m in the USA for three years to act as a technical liaison between Australia and the USA. It’s a great job and I get to do lots of interesting things. I’m not sure whether Dayton, Ohio is going to be interesting or not.

When I ask people about what there is to do there, I get told that it’s got a great Aerospace Museum. Ummm…ok. Is that it. Surely there is more??? If any readers come from the area, please drop me a line and let me know what I must see and do during my three weeks out there. I have a car and will travel on weekends.

Today’s dog photo has to include my favourite girl in the world, Zoe. I’m going to miss her so much while I’m away. Thankfully my husband, Brendan will be home with her for most of my trip so I don’t need to worry about deserting her completely. 

This is the ‘Hurry Up’ look she was giving me on a hike we did up in Idyllwild over the Easter weekend.

Happy 400 comments

 

As promised the 400th comment was recently posted. Luckily, Jill from j.c.furtography is a self-confessed weekend internet addict and was the first to comment on Saturday morning. Jill, I’ve included an extra pack of Dogs of India cards in your shipment.

Todays picture, in the usual fashion was chosen from google images. It came from a blog called The Dogs of Pompeii. I’d really love to get to Pompeii one of these days. Preferably before Mt Vesuvius blows again! The next big volcanic eruption is due sometime this century. After that, the remnants of old Pompeii will once again be covered in molten lava, but this time, the neighboring modern day cities will be destroyed along with it.

Dancing…all over the world

It doesn’t have much to do with dogs (although there are a couple in there…check out Kuwait). It has everything to do with travelling. Check out this video of Matt dancing his way around the world.

Why did I post it? It makes me smile…..

Please be patient while it loads…It’s worth it.

The Journey

If you haven’t figured it out already, I have a number of real passions. The first two are quite obvious…I love photography and I love dogs. The other passion of mine, which actually led me into photography, is travelling. I am never happier than when I am travelling.

No matter where I am in the world, as long an I’m experiencing something new, I am in an almost perpetual state of bliss. I’ve found this to be true whether I am enjoying a coffee and croissant on a sidewalk in Prague; attempting to explain to the Indian man on the train why I don’t have a husband with me; or floating down the River Nile on a Felucca.

As I get older (and perhaps wiser) I’m really starting to enjoy the journey. Every day I strive to put the destination to the back of my mind and focus on the process. I think this video sums it up perfectly. Thanks to George for bringing it to my attention. We really do get our inspiration in the most unlikely of places. Louis Vuitton? Who would have thought it?

What is a journey?
