I don't actually plan these blog posts, they're usually just centered around the things I see and the people I meet along the trail. While …
How photography changed me
On a recent walk along the trail, I captured two new faces for my Fabulous Friday Faces gallery (Click the link to learn more about my F.F.F. Gallery). I ran into both Ron, and later Lynn, while I was standing near the split rail fence where I had stopped to photograph some birds on that snowy morning. It's always …
