It's back to work....

Aug. 28.2010

Well, Last week was back at it. And there's no catching a break. Work is as busy as ever and I'm always on the go. Some times I don't think I'll ever keep up.  I don't get a proper lunch most days but I had to pause to take this shot..... Makes ya kind of relax.






It's my birthday and I'll ride if I want to....


Hey, As the heading says, Yesterday was my 45th birthday and I got to go for a nice ride to the mountains. I've come to the conclusion though that while I'll never stop doing it, the day rides are a bit like sex without an orgasm.  The whole premise of what I’m trying to do her is adventuring, traveling, seeing and doing new things.  I’ve traveled the roads between Richmond and the Blue Ridge so much, the locals wave and call me by my first name….




Hey, It's still a pretty place....


I'm not going to Post all the photos here, there aren't that many. Got to:   pdmurphy.smugmug.com/   and you can see them there.





Booooo!  Vacation is all over...


August 18, 2010

Well, things didn't work out the way I though it would for posting up on the web page and for vacation. Either way we ahd fun and I will continue to add to this page when and as I can. I think the  best thing on vacation was getting to see David paly with his band Sauce.  




They are hot and smooth, fun to watch and even better to listen to. I'll add more of them in the photo section or go to my links and go the my smug mug site and the rest are there.





The Welcome....


 Welcome to Vagabond Blues. A site dedicated to the world of travels by me, Paul Murphy and that of my girls, Trisha  and Sophie, the Pug.

On an average week I log about 1000 miles between the driving I do for work and the pleasure I derive from riding Suzi, The Motorcycle. I always have a camera with me, be it a point and shoot camera or a DSLR camera,  which I've only gotten into recently.  As you can read in other sections, I've been traveling for most of my life and photography has played an important part in all I've done.

The Blues part of the name comes from the fact that I don't get to travel as much as I would like to. I'm no different than most of the other dreamers out there that wish they had more time to do what they wished than time to do what they're required to... Ain't life a bitch.

On that note, I will say that up to now, life has been a great experience. And for some that know me, that includes all the good and bad things that have happened over the the past years. 

So, please visit and enjoy. Most things here will remain the same. The one thing I hope to add to every week if not every day is the photographs because that's where I can share what I see and enjoy every day.

Thanks for looking.

Me and the Girls...

Please Note this page is in a constant state of flux as are

the little friends in my head......

I've been too busy to really add to this site but I did add a bunch of photos from Rhode Island to the photo page.




Tennessee was great but..... We're in Rhode Island!

August 10, 2010

We
got to Rhode Island late yesterday after a not so bad ride from Richmond.  I haven't added much here due to lack of time but I will endevor.



Vacation!!!!

Well it's here and I'm trying to post all the things on the Vacation 2010 Page but the hotel wi-fi wouldn't allow me to up load photos so everything I've done recently has been through the verizon wand..... So, I'm a bit behind.

Vacation, VacatION, VACATION... Say it with me:


August, 6 2010

Welcome to vacation. Today at 11:45, I departed Southeastern Marine with a smile on my face. A quick run home, walk Sophie, paclk some stuff and hit the road. So if you want to see what's going on, go to the vacation page.



August, 5, 2010


Well, here we are right on the cusp, the razors edge.... Right now it could go either way..... Ah, Bullshit, All I've got to do is survive half a day tomorrow and I'll be free for the next week.  I've been packing tonight just for the simple trip to Tennessee. This is going to be interesting because if you know me of late, I've got to bring more electronics and photo equipment than most National Geographic Photo-Journalists do for a six month African Safari....  Ah hell. I'm haing fun.

I figure I'll see what I forget for this leg of the trip and correct it Sunday when we're back here right before we head out to Rhode Island.... Vacation, we don't need no stinkin vacation.... We're just into the pain of it all.

That's it, that's the mantra, it's the only thing keeping me going...... Say it with me, click your heels three time and it will come true......




Happy Birthday Kyle... My Little Boy?!?!?
