Congratulations! Loved the colors on that first image.
I used to blog about running a few years back and stopped and now started this blog with my partner about our travels and hope to continue it for a long time. At least to hold a record of where we go.
Congratulations and many more!

I am sure we will Terri. I wrote an extremely long introductory post when I began my blog, then we had crummy weather, I didn’t walk and was at a loss for what to say. 🙂 I have said in many ways that walking was the best thing I ever did for myself, because it led to blogging and a renewed interest in photography.
