Our Friend, the World Traveler








Chris Sinclair was in our home today. We were so delighted to spend the day with him. He had travelled 18 hours before stopping at our home in Durham. Mind you, he didn't travel this whole way to just see the Morrison clan. He is a professional photographer. He does amazing work. He is stationed, for the most part, in Thailand. He has a sort of headquarters in Richmond, VA and that is where he will be travelling to this evening. He just recently had an Amazon experience for several days and then did some more work in Brazil.

It is evident that Chris has a deep appreciation for our Creator and all that He has made. His photos depict so much beauty.

Chris is free spirited and mellow. Just being around him is relaxing. The kids really take to him. We enjoyed having him around our table today and sharing meals together. We loved seeing his recent photos. They are breathtaking. The kids loved some photos that Chris had taken of animals like a macaw, monkeys and a cheetah (actually, Julian thinks it was an ocelot). I was fascinated by other photos that he had recently taken in Brazil, specifically of children. The colors of the photos are so vibrant. How he gets the pictures so clear and bright with color, is truly an art.

I have posted about a visit from Chris before. We know him from Boone. I guess it would be almost 10 years. Wow. He played his guitar and sang a song, that Scott had written for me, in our wedding in '98. He has seen our children grow and knows he is always welcome in the Morrison home.

I am posting some photos from today and some that Chris sent us from the Amazon River.

~Chris, thank you for your presence today. We sure do love being around you. Enjoy your travels. You are in our thoughts.~
