lost

You are right to wonder at us being lost or at least digressing from off the beaten track. And yes our initial intention was to go places we dont normaly go and see what we find. Its that sometimes by taking small side steps I find things that relate to the post or at least make me ponder a current thought or make me want to put them up here, just cause they make me laugh or no one else would get it. perhaps we need a sub section called "finds on route" or something, which these small elements can be held in. I still think there is milage in doing proper 'off the beaten tracks' its just that i sometimes dont have the time and i come across stuff on regular known paths.
I like that our blog meanders and then rears a question and we rein it in or just let it go and see what happens. We i think thought by doing this blog we would find sites of study or interesting places , as a tool for us to look at places differently rather, to notice things because we are looking - a bit like your cat ice photo, you were open to looking differently at the world and found something. This for me is sometimes enough rather than always trying to find something big. I like my altered perception, my affected looking. Can or is this enough, or are we at a point to reflect, consider and alter. I suppose its a bit like the question of why 7 in seven sights, each network has to build, and not just keep repeating itself. Do you think we need another person who pokes and challenges and interjects in our blog? or should we make the effort to off road. I like that you started to make work or interventions in relation to the off roading. Perhaps we should explore this idea further?

I have no picture for this post but I do have title of a book A field guide to getting Lost, by Rebecca Solnit. I like it and it fits.
