As I drove down the 15 freeway on Thursday in Southern California for a visit with my daughter I thought when did I get in a NASCAR Race? Seven lanes of freeway at times and it’s clearly posted 70 miles and hour. I was being pushed to go 80 by my fellow travelers. I had a great visit with Megan and her husband and was able to see some great pictures of her trip to the San Juan Island last October.

My daughter Megan is a fanatical Knitter. I don’t know where she gets it she loves sock knitting. I can only knit a plain scarf and I am totally purl challenged.Lol!
So last October Megan was off to a Sock camp with Cat Bordhi on San Juan Island. Megan had gone to a Sock Summit a year before and had a wild time in Portland. Who knew Socks can have Summits it doesn’t have to be world leaders. Maybe this world would be a better place if our world leaders had to knit a pair of socks while they discussed getting along with our different countries. Just a thought.
Here are some of the pictures Megan took. What struck me as I sat looking at her photo’s on the computer screen is how her pictures were so interesting. The Pacific Northwest is beautiful as I looked at Lighthouses, Otters, bald Eagles. The old cemetery in the middle of a forest was so unusual I thought of my late Dad. My Dad was in the civil service repairing planes in Vietnam during the Vietnam War . He traveled at times overseas from the Philippines to Hawaii. My father loved photography and he always was taking pictures especially when he retired. After retirement my father had a part time job as a photographer taking head shots for aspiring actors wish he enjoyed. My dad with his camera was a constant occurance. I remember being in his darkroom as he slowly developed his photo's and the smell of the chemicals. As I looked at Megan’s photo’s I thought Wow my Dad would love these pictures!
It was like a kiss from the grave realizing how our loved ones interests touch us and live on with the hobby’s or values we treasure. As I take pictures with my camera I think how hard it is to take an interesting picture. I wonder about us all and what do we remember that we carry on subconsciously that carries on from the past to the present touching our daily lives.
