Ive started to feel a bit remorseful about laying that last blog post on you. The one with all the rain and the wind and the squalls. I know some people look at this blog specifically to see nice tro...
We have a few more photos taken near the end of December that I wanted to show you before they get lost in the new year shuffle. "New Year Shuffle". I like that. Sounds like a rhythm and bl...
I’m going to divert from our normal sort of chronological order here and put some of today’s sunrise photos on a post about things that took place last year. Last week, in other words. I hope I don’t...
