Do you know the difference between a Carousel and a Merry-Go-Round? Yeah, me neither. My husband claims it’s that carousels have only horses and merry-go-rounds have other animals. A quick search on the web shows some claim the difference is in the direction of travel – clockwise or counter-clockwise. Yet another online claim was that one runs by electricity and the other does not. Wikipedia says they are the same. So… I’ve decided it’s worth no further time trying to figure it out. They are just pretty and fun to photograph! I played with panning on this one found in Seaside, Oregon.

This image also captures how I feel since returning from my trip. I’m spinning around, running in circles, with too much to do. Is a vacation worth it when you have so much to do when you get back? While in the state of relaxation on the trip and immediately post-trip I definitely think “Yes!” Now, a few days later, I’m not so convinced. I’m overwhelmed.

So I give myself a pep talk. Deep breath, Kat. Make a list, prioritize and do only what must get done right now. Maybe I should plan another vacation…
