FuzzyCoach posted a topic in Photo Gallery "I so love shooting the Ocean" in Photo Gallery: https://www.uglyhedgehog.com/tpr?p=12773509&t=721998. Three out of the first five posts said words to the effect "I miss the Ocean", mine included. I'm sure there are many others out there that moved away from the Ocean and miss it as much as we do.
So my question is: Why did we move from a place we loved and why, if we miss it, don't we move back?
I can answer why don't we move back (Pacific NW) Cost of living, maintenance of property, spiders, wet, muddy dogs, urban politics but honestly I have had fleeting thoughts about moving back - but it is just too overwhelming! And yet the Pacific NW grabs your heart and doesn't let go... And then I watch an Az sunrise most mornings and I am contented.
