View of Pemaquid Point… Yeah. It’s Purty.

Well I’m back from a lovely eight days of meditating in spruce forests and granite coastlines while spending some wonderful quality time with my folks. I had a great time.

The only regret I have is I came in planning to do a whole lot of projects like catch up on my reading and do a whole lot of watercolors instead, due to the abbreviated schedule I spent most of my time helping my mother with trail maintenance and didn’t even pick up a paint brush until the last day… Heck due to it being so early in the season I didn’t even get my obligatory lobster!

But any way… It was great all that green, the wildlife (I had an addition to my life list seeing four Glossy Ibises on my third day!) starry nights and the silence! Living in a fairly busy city it’s hard to start to describe real silence it’s almost like it’s a physical presence!

Anyway I’m sure I can go on, but the point is after being cramped in a metal tube for eight hours I’m home and back to work. Apologies for the two weeks of blog silence but man it was worth it!
