This week marks 5 years since I started this blog. I created it as a way to keep Dale included in what was happening on the home front during his year long deployment to Kosovo, and to help me improve my camera skills. And I did what I intended...I posted pictures daily for the year he was gone. I even kept it going for another 365 days, and more beyond that. Then life got in the way, and even though I was still taking pictures every day, I wasn't able to make time to post them every day.
A lot has changed in 5 years. We've added family members...and lost them. Dale's retired from the military and started a new job, and we opened a business. But I still love taking pictures! So the pressure is off now - I'll post pictures when I can of what I want. Once the "every day" pressure is gone, I think this blog will be just what I want it to be once again. There will still be lots of still life - I love my flowers! And portraits - gotta showcase my beautiful grandbabies! So welcome back! I'm excited for this new project...
