Today, November 7, we celebrate the birthdays of three bloggers. This special one-day celebration honors Cee Neuner, an incredibly talented photographer, on what would have been her 64th birthday. She was a dedicated blogger who opened our eyes to the world of photography and taught us how to use photos to tell our blog stories.
She encouraged us to post a flower a day, wowed us with her black-and-white photo challenges, the “Which Way Challenge,” now hosted by Deb Waters, and the “Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge” (CFFC), now hosted by Dan Antion.
As a challenge host myself (Sunday Stills and The Flower Hour), I know how much work goes into hosting challenges. I admire the current hosts of challenges and respect the amount of time that goes into planning themes, preparing images and posts, as well as replying to and commenting on links shared.
The idea that Cee managed 7 FOTD posts, CFFC, Which Way, and Black and White Challenges is quite incredible in its scope. Not only did she post these daily and weekly, but she also always commented or replied to her participants. She also managed to join our challenges on a regular basis.
In early 2021, I felt honored to be part of a group of bloggers that met on ZOOM during the pandemic, which included Cee, Marsha, Judy Dystra-Brown, and Carol Carlisle of A Place to Wonder.
I began (resurrected) Sunday Stills in April 2018, after a three-month break during which I had almost quit blogging. I can’t imagine my life without blogging. I have met countless bloggers in real life (If I know where you live, and I’m visiting there, I’ll come knocking😉). I was thisclose to meeting Cee in person in 2022 when we visited my cousins in Portland, Oregon.
This dahlia garden, located in Tigard, Oregon, represents Cee. A beautiful, intricate flower, surrounded by lovely friends and bloggers.
From where I live in Eastern Washington, the drive to the Portland, Oregon area takes me about 6 hours. Cee lived in Canby, about a 45-minute drive south of Portland. I felt a special kinship with Cee, having lived in Beaverton, a suburb of Portland, as a child.
I’m also sharing this image of the Hood River bridge in Oregon, on the Columbia River. Cee shared numerous photos of this area on her blog and loved photographing bridges. Oregon held a special place in her heart.
Happy birthday to Dan Antion and to Marsha Ingrao for graciously co-hosting this link-up.
Also sharing the bridge for Becky’s November Shadows.
Happy birthday in Heaven, Cee. You left an indelible place in our hearts.
