A lot of energy is put into a project but when it is pulled right before it gets complete, the energy has nowhere to go. The ultimate reward for all the work is not the money but being able to walk in the space that was created. That won't be for now... I have to admit, I was completely at a loss - I did not know what to do with all this energy and focus. Riding the motorcycle all over the place helped diffuse some of the energy and it has been therapeutic. I've started to come back to a daily routine and the photography is part of that.
A long ride to Chuckanut Drive near in the Skagit Valley just south of Bellingham Wa. was to be part of that healing medicine. Who doesn't love the name "Chuckanut"??? The ride is quite fun with it's twisties and beautiful vistas. There is a hidden gem of a place called Taylor Shellfish Farms where you can buy and eat all the bivalves and crustaceans right there on hibachi grills they have scattered along the shore of their premises. I got a quick lesson on how to shuck an oyster. It's one of those skills I thought was mysteriously kool to do. I didn't seek it out but the guy there just offered to show me and to top it off I got to eat the oyster after the shucking lesson. No grilling on the seashore this time, but brought a dozen to grill at home. With a pinch of romano cheeze and a dash of lemon, it was simply yumm! Here are photos # 103, 104 and 105.
