&lt;p&gt;Most of us are fortunate to be able to travel today to many parts of the world.  It&amp;rsquo;s fascinating to meet people, both young and old, who have wonderful stories to share about places they have visited and adventures they have had.  As one who likes to travel myself, I always tell anyone who says they&amp;rsquo;re off to some place to  &amp;ldquo;take lots of pictures.&amp;rdquo;  To have the experience of being in a different place is unsurpassed joy but we also need those images so that when we&amp;rsquo;re back home, we can relive those moments in a different way -  hopefully with happy memories.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Treasures from the Sea</title><link>/posts/treasures-from-the-sea/</link><pubDate>Sun, 13 Apr 2014 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/posts/treasures-from-the-sea/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://photos.smugmug.com/Lateblooms/n-ZkfX3Q/2014/Treasures-from-the-sea/i-ZmNhzXj/0/L4zJxWQqzLwMZLvLmm6DdcTXsPFHxnmGqW6xkLWpx/D/Shells-with-flowers-D.jpg"&gt;&lt;img alt="Shells (with flowers)" loading="lazy" src="https://jeanjankisamaroo.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Shells-with-flowers-1024x586.jpg"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“I do not know what I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the sea-shore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.”  (Isaac Newton)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Life has a wonderful way of bringing us back to the basics sometimes.  It was fun to turn my shells and coral out on the kitchen table and examine and play with them.  Fifteen years ago when I visited Fiji, I wasn&amp;rsquo;t into taking too many pictures or into blogging.  In fact, I had not even heard the term.  In the above collage, the two images of the resort are postcards I bought there.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
