I can think of of many places to which I love to escape… northern New England, the Scottish Highlands, Hawaii, even just our local rivers, ponds, and hiking trails, or the pages of a book.
Still, when I heard this week’s challenge, I laughed out loud. No photo says escape to me quite like this one of my daughter’s dog on Christmas morning, hiding from the noise and bedlam of the grandkids opening and enjoying their gifts!

There are everywhere great places, but always I return to my books.

Oh that is such a perfect shot for the challenge! Reminds me of the time we were dog sitting a golden retriever years ago during Diwali, and he tried to escape the noise of firecrackers and hid under our bed for hours 🙂

I can imagine – this poor pup doesn’t like fireworks either – I’m guessing their poor ears really suffer! At least he had a safe place to escape!

She got her own gifts and plenty of cuddles – she was just frustrated trying to guard her people with many other people around, and lots of noise. So she opted out and went into the next room for a while! I understood exactly how she felt! 😉 .
