Summer is here, with all the tourists and motor homes that come along with summer. Perhaps someone predicted a run on the redwoods as I don't really see a decline in traffic on the highways this year. My experience is that the current economic conditions still allow for many to take vacations - they just take them on the cheap. When I had my little tourist shop in town I noticed I had the same number of customers but a much lower average sale amount. That eventually put me out of business.
But this isn't about the economy. It is about getting out and feeling the sunshine.
Welcome to the redwoods, my backyard.....
When you live in tourist country it can be a little hazardous. Your town is packed and everyone is lost while driving an enormous motor home, or at least it feels that way. So to enjoy a little peace and quiet you have to get off the beaten path.
First I leave the house and all the birds I feed in the yard.
Then my stepson and I go to a few secluded places to enjoy the day.
We usually look for critters and birds and enjoy the scenery.
He has his CAMO working.
Look at his cute little legs!
And we found hungry babies!!!!
Our local Grass Recycler....
The local beach crowd.
An obese Squirrel showing off his "O" face.
And the end of another beautiful day!
I've been fighting off a bit of depression, it makes it difficult to work on health and healthy eating. Getting out and seeing the sunshine and critters helps some.
How is everyone else?
