Well, since I was already there, I thought to myself, might as well have some fun in front on my own camera.
One afternoon, not far from home we went for a walk at Lake Louisa State Park. It was our first time here even though this place is like five minutes away from home. Sometimes the best treasures are in front of you. Take a look…

The only way of getting things done, and get where you want to be, is by moving yourself from the comfort zone. XM
“If I’m an advocate for anything, it’s to move. As far as you can, as much as you can. Across the ocean, or simply across the river. The extent to which you can walk in someone else’s shoes or at least eat their food, it’s a plus for everybody.
