Well I have made it one full year into this journey. It has been and will continue to be a vehicle that may wiggle from side-to-side a bit but keeps on track nonetheless. I would like to sincerely thank everyone who has viewed, commented and provided encouragement over the last year as without you blogging would not be the fun and enriching experience it has turned out to be. Thanks!

And a few more from the vault:






Beautiful images, especially that last one.

Congrats, Mike! I look forward to a “yearling” reflection! I’m down the path about 4months of the way. In my opinion, the blog, as a way of looking at the world, is a far better avenue for learning about our global community than watching the syndicated news. Your photos are intriguing. -Jane

Thanks Jane and keep up the blogging. There are up and downs along the way and I agree it is better than watching the new on the television and perhaps better than any television at all.

Mike, congratulations on one year! I’ve enjoyed your work and look forward to seeing more!
The “photo that started it all” is incredible and I also love the shallow creekbed running through that meadow of snow. Truly? They are all wonderful … those two are just my faves! 🙂
