Just like any new adventurer setting out, I’m researching my route, packing my bags and hoping I dont forget anything!
Since taking a few tentative steps into the world of blogging, I’ve been combing through posts and pages gaining insights and tidbits from my peers and wow you guys are awesome! So many things I hadn’t even thought of. A big shout out to Hugh W. Roberts @Huge’s News & Views, for his suggestions on keeping my photography and my blog safe!!
Like any traveler setting out, I have so many things I want to do, places I intend to go and things I want to say, I get dizzy thinking about it! I know, I know…calm down take it slow and try to have a plan and a schedule is handy! See I’m learning š
I’ve experimented with some watermarks for my photos and again, “Thanks Huge!”, I found a really good free app to get me started. Add Watermark Free app, is a simply perfect easy to use tool, Huge and I recommend!
I’ve been sorting through photos, making folders and taking notes. Eager to be on my way but still nervous about the trip. I’m sure as with any journey there will be important things learned along the way. Trip ups, wrong turns and rich wonderful experiences I wouldn’t have had if I just stayed in my own yard.
One of the best pieces of advice though I’ve gotten from so many of you is just show up! Take the first step and just keep writing!
So with that in mind, my bags are packed my passport is in my pocket and I can’t wait for you to join me on this adventure!
But before we head out lets take one more look around, thanks š

I really like that heart-shaped leaf and the entire post has such nature beauty.
And it sounds like you have some your research! Many folks mention Hugh and his tips! He aims to help and has offered so much over the years and so cheers to him!
Oh and my advice is pace yourself and then hook challenges to meet folks (like you already did with Marsha’s fall theme this week)
And then…. after you do challenges – decide which ones fit you and give yourself permission to skip some – t can become a little tough (IMO) where so many folks host a challenge and I was making myself dizzy trying to link too many!
Sigh!

Oh my goodness thank you so much for likes and comments! I loved your story about the Equinox and your childhood home on the sea!
I’m traveling metaphorically back into the Treasure Trove of my pictures and past travels, until my next new adventure!

Metaphorically is good. No endless queues at the airport…š
There was actually a book written in French in the 18th century, “Voyage autour de ma chambre” (Travel inside my room) where the author did not set a foot outside his room for the entire book. Quite fun. Haven’t read it in a while.
Cheers

By Xavier de Maistre. 1794. Not sure there is an English translation… š And it may have aged a bit. As Dickens has for instance. I’ve pulled it from its shelf to my to-read shelf. I might give it a try. Will let you know.
