My last week in Homer

filed under: Alaska, Homer

It's my last few days in Homer, AK, and I'm getting a heavy dose of pre-nostalgia coming on. While I'm truly no fan of goodbyes I enjoy the last days in a place more wholly than most of the others before them. I stare off of our cliff several more times a day (and night, now that it actually gets dark for a bit), I sit by the window more when I'm working (like now, even though this isn't exactly 'working'), I take my friends far less for granted. Every moment really does count, each and every day, but the last days in a place really hit that home for me.

All summer I've been driving out on the Homer Spit and passing this amazing set of tide pools that form just perfectly a few times a day. I've always meant to take a picture of it but always putting it off to a more convenient time. If there is one lesson that I feel like is being impressed upon me over and over again this last year or two it's been to not put things off. The best thing about now is that *gasp* it's right now! When ever is there a better time to do the things that make you happy?

Yesterday I finally took that picture. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
