Movin' on up... and Editor's Notes

Hey gang,

I am sorry it has again taken me so long to get back to posting here. I guess I am finally admitting that I just let it get away from me and the longer it went undone, the harder it is to catch up. I will say though that Barbara and I have been very busy with house, yard, Barbara's birthday, and other things.


So, in an effort to breathe some new life into this venture and to hopefully garner a little more public support and response, I have decided to relocate the blog. If you'll recall a while ago I set up a test page on a different blog site I had found and wanted to get some feedback. Well, I never got any feedback really (except for Barbara and baby, I thank you for that), but in going over how to catch up on the blog I have realized that this new website will make that process much easier. By the way, it doesn't appear that I will be able to export any of my posts thus far here, to the new place, so if anyone needs to see the old ones, they'll still be here, sorry for the pain in looking at two sites.

So if you'll please, head on over to http://writingsetsyoufree.wordpress.com/ and check out the continuation of A Year of Pictures.

Day 112: 'Self portrait of the author'

Sunday April 25, 2010

So if you've ever wondered what I look like when I am getting the time to sit here and crank out these blogs then wonder no more.

You've seen me in other pictures but here is the one of me in action, at the computer and working hard to bring you the most excitement day to day. I kid of course, lol.

Day 111: 'Pretty gardens'

Editor's Note: I would like to apologize for the lack of posts the last two weeks and for the last few posts being out of sequence. This has proved a more difficult endeavor than I thought. Also with work, our garden, and other yard or house related duties, it is not something I have had the energy or time to work on. However I am going to catch up today and get back to an everyday post. I also don't like this site because it takes a while to upload pictures and that has prolonged my time trying to post. Having said that I am going to go back to one picture a day and I promise to stick with it this time. As a last note, I will be posting the date of each post above the post since the time stamp on these posts will all say 5\8\2010.

Barbara and I went to Duke Gardens for a bot and walked around and admired the beautiful plants here at the beginning of summer. We go there as much as we can and always take our cameras so we can photograph what we see. My favorite picture out of this bunch is surprisingly not a colorful flower bloom but a ...


A shot of turtles hanging out with ducks on a small private peninsula on the pond at the Gardens. Very cool.
