Of Roads, Travels and Thoughts
Posted by teacherjulie @ 12:46 am
Shelved under About Town, Just For Fun, On the Road, Photo Hunters, Snapshots

We love going on road trips. We love taking photos when we have these road trips. I have lots and lots of photos of roads where we have been so it was hard to choose the best ones even if I put several in all my blogs :D Oh, I even have a category here in my blog called “On the Road”

We love taking road trips whenever we have the chance to do so. By the way please see my other entry here which got me singing Willie Nelson’s “On the Road Again” song in my mind.

What am I talking about? This week’s theme for Photo Hunters is ROAD.

I thought about something different for this theme so I  copied used parts of poems and quotes and looked for photos that would match the lines:

_____________________________________________________________________________________

The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost:

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

___________________________________________________________________________________

Still round the corner there may wait, A new road or a secret gate.
J. R. R. Tolkien

__________________________________________________________________________________

The Road Less Traveled by Kit McCallum

How often must we bear the challenges of life; The endless roller coaster between happiness and sorrow; The constant ups and downs of daily strife. And Always the question remains….why?

___________________________________________________________________________________

So now I ask you, “What kind of road are you traveling on right now?” I hope the travel is smooth sailing :)

Have a great weekend everyone!

to answer your question… the road i’m travelling now is better than the one I travelled before…it’s more define and rewarding. I wish you’re travelling with me

Great post – pictures, quotes and all. And in answer to question: I like to think that I’m taking the road less taken… ;b

Are you kidding me? I have found my friend for life….I too love Robert Frost. So fitting that you’d use the poem with this week’s theme.

Mine’s shared…all about the “Devil” this week. Come see. Have a great weekend, and happy hunting!

I’ve been on roads like all of them. Great shots, but my favorite is the last one. And the quotes fit each one so perfectly. :) Great job. Drop by. I think you will appreciate what I did with *road* this week, too.

I’m like several others. I really liked the last one best. But I loved the quote from Tolkein.

Good road photo’s for the theme along with the comments and poems.

Wow, Julie. You got me on this one – beautiful pictures, interesting quotes, lovely roads!!!
Just like you, hubby and I love to travel, too, kahit sa likod-bahay lang. My father used to tell me – “to travel is to educate oneself” And he could not be more true.

A great week ahead to you and yours!

Taking the road less taken is good, I would like to do that too. That is exactly what we do (literally) for fun during weekends instead of the usual malling stuff, we go on road trips and commune with nature.

Thanks YSTL :)

We do this when the weather is nice and when there is extra budget for extra gas :D

We believe po that in doing so, we do not succumb to the temptation of malling and developing the “window shopping” itch. At least, we enjoy nature at its best and away from the crowd.

I love that poem and use that phrase “road less travelled” so much I think I have worn it to shreds. haha And needless to say, love your photos too.
