I mentioned in an earlier post my love of all things fabric-related, and I think it's clear also how much I love being outdoors. Today combined the best of all worlds for me, and I wish I had photos to illustrate. Some things, though, can't be photographed easily. Start with friendship. I am spending the weekend with my college roommate and her husband on beautiful Lake Kanasatka in Moultonborough, NH. How do you photograph 49 years of friendship??? Certainly plenty of photos exist of us over the years, but the intangibles are what I'm talking about. The ability to talk about anything and everything; the shared history; the love of sewing, quilting and fabrics; the knowledge that whatever difficult situation you may be in, the other person is there to support you - these are things that can't be photographed.
Had I thought about it in advance, though, I could have photographed our cross-country skiing on the lake this afternoon, past makeshift bob houses (i.e. tents) and "open air" fishing by folks participating in the Lake Winnipesaukee Fishing Derby (but on Lake Kanasatka) and I could have photographed our trip to Keepsake Quilting this afternoon, where, for once, I was the person buying and not the person watching. But maybe it's a good thing that I wasn't busy trying to photograph all of this, I was just enjoying it, being present in these moments of activities I love with people I love. Enough said!
