Bear Lake - Utah


Bear Lake - Utah
Originally uploaded by Matt Callahan.
Sitting in the car, on the beach, watching my children play along the shore. They’re building sandcastles. The wind has picked up and the sand stings the back of your legs as it rushes across the beach. The water is still calm but small waves are starting across the surface.

As lakes are not something I see much anymore, I smile as I retrieve the mp3 player from my bag and bring up the Wide-Eyed disc from the Opium collection. Quickly scrolling through the menu, I play Ripple / Wind Over Water on repeat for quite some time, watching the waves, listening to the wind, watching the castles take shape.

Thanks to the work of my sister, my mother gave me this for my birthday. It was even the color pattern I wanted.

All is right with the world. Well, it will be once I get my own mp3 player. You can only be so cool borrowing your daughters.

Thank you

Thank you all for the birthday greetings. I have almost 200 pictures to sort through from my little vacation. I'll be posting as I make any progress.

Gone Fishing

I'm off to face the dawning of middle age in Utah. It seemed like a good idea at the time. I believe I will be computer free until Tuesday. The idea of not using the internet for four days sounds as though it may have some interesting effects. We will see.
