The Pleasure of Home

It is often said we do not appreciate what we have till it is gone.  I was called out of town recently on an emergency.  In North Idaho we are out of mainstream traffic and crowds.  So seeing the crowds in the airports, and full no seating remaining, on the planes was a bit of a culture shock.  

*****************************************************************

Landing at Spokane Airport and driving only a couple of hours I was immediately reminded of why North Idaho is so special to me.

This is what I was rewarded as driving a detour towards Spirit Lake from Coeur D' Alene.

********************************************************

Hope - Clark Fork Idaho the following evening for listing photos

Mark there is no place like home.  There may not be anything special about it, but to us no other place could ever compare.

Hi Mark

No doubt about it - there is no place like home, wherever it happens to be for each of us. I always enjoy your photos and the perspective they give us about where you live.

Mark- this is so true, and home is different for all of us. I have to laugh because when we visit Iowa and Larry's family farm, after miles and miles of corn and country roads, I'm ready to head towards exactly what you prefer to get away from.

Good evening Kathy Streib , Jeff Dowler , George Souto , and William Feela .  I thought about putting in a line about no matter where we call home - city, mountains, beach, farmlands...all would be missed and looked forward to returning to by any having left their home.  From the first four comments it seems it was not necessary in that we all know 'home' is special to each of us no matter the area. Thank you for stopping by.  Mark

I love going home no matter how much I have enjoyed my trip away. There is just something special about the familiar and sleeping in our own beds.

Mark sorry to hear that it was an emergency trip... then to top it off to be put in a sardine can environment.... ironically I remember when my father got to be in his 60's he said he would only travel in business class... and I understand why.... Endre

Endre Barath, Jr. , perhaps when I reach my 60's I will feel the same way as your Dad did.  Lmao.  Ok maybe when I hit 70.  Make it a great Sunday.  M

Hi Mark - Great photos. Mary and I have ridden our tandem a couple of times in the Coeur d'Alene area, and it is truly beautiful country and easy to fall in love with.

Mark Don McInnes, Sandpoint Your photos are beautiful.  Living in North Idaho looks very relaxing and serene to me.  Having grown up in New York City, I think of south Florida as calm - but it's nowhere as calm as Idaho.  And, you're right; there's no place like home.
