With all of the online photo sites available today, digital photo frames that require one to upload images have kinda’ faded away from the mainstream. However, I love my older one, and it contains about 11,500 photo images taken in places around the world. I update it regularly; it’s pretty current.
Mine sits on a desk next to my work area and is visible to me out of the corner of my eye; I barely have to move for a full-on viewing of the images. It’s like having a non-stop, a full-color story of my life and times going on 24-hours a day (I usually only turn it off when I’m away from home traveling.) It’s a collection of people, places, flowers, sunshine, beaches, festivities, funerals, snow, Cathedrals, street signs, and powerful reminders that there really is something just around the next corner.
Right now an image of a Blue Angels plane taxing down the runway in Pensacola flashed by, the next picture is of a damaged fire truck from the 9/11 museum in New York City. Now it’s a table set for lunch in a square in Florence Italy, followed by a photo in The Garden of the Gods in Colorado. Lastly, there’s an image of our American Flag flying high over the White House during last year’s Holiday Tour.
It’s beautiful to see the images appear and then fade to the next random one. Since I took every one of the pictures, in an instant I’m able to think of where it was taken and what was going on at the time.
What a wonderful way to travel without leaving home.
