As much as I claim that my weekly photo hikes are a much-needed, much-anticipated break that allow me to get away from my daily routine, I don’t actually, completely… disconnect.
I take photos with my smartphone, posting them to Instagram, Twitter and Facebook. I check emails, I Google places to go. When I have the chance to simply bask in the glory of being outdoors, rain or shine, I can’t seem to cut that electronic umbilical cord.
This weekend will be different. My phone will only be used for providing background music and GPS tracking, maybe a compass.

while my phone is on over the weekend, I rarely check it and the one thing I love about myself is that my phone NEVER RINGS..it doesn’t ding with notifications or FB updates, when i check it, I see them, but there is no noise to alert me.
it’s the one way, day after day, that I can just disconnect.
hoping your weekend of QUIET went well. 🙂

when one is as old as I am, it is easy to still remember the days before computers and cell phones . . . and even color tv. I grew up with no phone until I was 13. Our tv was b&w until I was about 16. Our fist computer was an Atari 800. We still use “stupid” phones . . . we are THAT old. 🙂 And, yet . . . I find it hard to be away from the internet for a day. 🙂
