I have been really bad about updating this thing lately.. which means all three of you have one less blog to read. :p
Anyway, we're off tomorrow to Costa Rica. I can't wait. :) My whole carry-on is camera stuff. It's ridiculous. And having this huge lens is totally throwing me off.. I usually use my favorite camera bag at all times -- that way, everything fits and I can wear it on my back, and if it starts raining I can just put my camera away.
But the camera with the lens won't fit into in the bag. Even just the lens won't fit. So what to do? You know, while walking all day or when we get caught in the rain, like last time. I'm improvising but it kinda sucks.
I'm Stacey. I'm a 31(!)-year-old Wisconsin girl living in sunny South Florida. The highlights in my life are my lovely boyfriend, my aloof cats, my adorable/adoring stepdogs, my two lumbering tortoises, select family members, being outside, being underwater, taking pictures, yadda yadda. Stay tuned for lots of babbling!
A small boy lived by the ocean. He loved the creatures of the sea, especially the starfish, and he spent much of his time exploring the seashore.
One day the boy learned there would be a minus tide that would leave the starfish stranded on the sand.
When the tide went out, he went down to the beach, began picking up the stranded starfish, and tossing them back into the ocean.
An elderly man who lived next door came down to the beach to see what the boy was doing. Seeing the man's quizzical expression, the boy paused as he approached. "I'm saving the starfish!" the boy proudly declared.
When the neighbor saw all of the stranded starfish he shook his head and said: "I'm sorry to disappoint you, young man, but if you look down the beach, there are stranded starfish as far as the eye can see. And if you look up the beach the other way, it's the same. One little boy like you isn't going to make much of a difference."
The boy thought about this for a moment. Then he reached his small hand down to the sand, picked up another starfish, tossed it out into the ocean, and said: "Well, I sure made a difference for that one!"
