My Escape…
I have many escapes.
Places I can retreat to or things I can occupy myself with when I so choose to.
Not out of necessity but out of desire…you know a land where you don’t answer the telephone or check email systematically every 5 minutes…yeah that place.
Places of passion and joy and fulfillment that leave me peaceful and serene.
My training takes me to a place where I push the limits so hard that I the capacity for other thoughts isn’t even a plausible.
Reading allows me to travel the journey of another being, feel what they feel and experience it in my mind…when I let myself succumb to the story.
If I had to choose my favourite escape at this moment in time (because they have been known to change) it would be photography.
Behind the lens of a camera I see the world with whole new perspective, from a different angle than what it is supposed to be seen.
If for 10 minutes or an entire afternoon I can slip away to creative freedom.
Free from the binds of how the world is supposed to be viewed. Take something ordinary and turn it into the extraordinary.
It doesn’t matter so much if others see it my way or not because therein lies the wonder of creativity.
I have opted to make today’s blog a photo blog…displaying a few of my favourite moments in time that I have captured.
I hope you enjoy.
Stay Sexy,

PS: What is your escape…your place of peace and serenity that you can slip away to…

My escape is photography too. Circumstances in my life right now are preventing me from doing it as much as I would like to but I’m trying to overcome them and get back to it because I do enjoy it so much.
Julie sometimes I find that if I can literally just steal 10 minutes of time I feel so balanced afterwards. Even if it is just around the house snapping shots! Hope you get to escape soon
Does it count as a photo blog if you write a full post before it ;P. Lovely pictures. Lovely lady.
LOL!! Funny thing was while I was writing the post I thought the same thing…needed a few words of explanation! …and it was shorter then usual! Thank you
Beautiful pictures Carrie. I too love taking pictures of my family and friends and any outing or event we may do. But for me my escape has always been going to the gym and train – that one hour gives me that extra energy I need for the rest of the day and its my time. It makes me feel good.
Can’t wait to see your book with the pictures.
I completely feel you on the “gym”! I have always loved the feeling of getting away and completely immersing myself in a workout!
I love them!!!!
Beautiful photos!
My escape is reading or a good movie. Anything that keeps me from thinking about anything and everything.
