Home again.

[katallison]

Back after eight glorious days of vacation. A few general conclusions:

• This actually-taking-vacation-and-going-somewhere concept is an excellent one.


• Likewise the sitting and staring at the ocean for hours on end concept, and the seeing of a few wonderful friends.


• Also excellent is taking a day after returning to gently re-enter regular life; catch up on LJ, do laundry, putz around in a low-pressure way.
  

As part of the putzing around, I took some time today to upload a few photos from my trip, and at the same time try out the LJ photo galleries. Not bad so far--upload works smoothly, and one can get larger versions of the pictures, if desired, by clicking them. Let me know if you have difficulty accessing them, or if things look wonky.

I am sustaining my mellow vacation buzz for one more day, by dint of avoiding any thoughts of all the work awaiting me next week. Monday will be here soon enough, and in the meantime I'm wallowing in my ocean memories.

So lovely pics. Just looking at the ocean makes me feel better. :)

They're fantastic! I think my favorite is M on the beach (I'm just in that kind of mood), but all of them are great.

You have singlehandedly convinced me to nudge Oregon a little higher in the "States I Must Go To" list. I'd heard tale of its beauty and wonder, but as they say a picture is worth a thousand words, and these are simply gorgeous.

God, those are breathtaking -- such beauty! I'm glad you got away and that it was good. Also, you have made me see that I need a vacation!!!!!

I'm awfully glad you had such a relaxing vacation - your photos are
beautiful - I hope your stay at the coast here was everything you anticipated!

here's hoping the return to RL and work isn't too brutal after a nice break away!

Wow, you do beautifully with scenery; I'm so much more of a close-up photographer that I really admire your gift for the (ahem) big picture.

Gorgeous photos. Thanks for sharing. Glad you had a good time. Taking a vacation and actually getting away really is wonderful.
