Wow, who would have ever imagined...certainly not me!
This marks post number 975 for me in three years and ten months.
At first my posts ran an image a piece, because that was what was suggested.
I had so many images that I wanted to share though, and so I then began to add more into each post.
Then I discovered the making of collages on my photo program and well, that really changed the blogging world for me.
In the beginning, I would publish one, or more entries a day, and then it was at least five a week, then three and now, I am good if I get in one, or two published in a week.
Someone recently said to me, "it sure looks like you put a lot of work into your blog entries".
Anyone who runs a blog, understands just how much work goes into it, and I enjoy it very much, but whew;')
After the images are uploaded, I edit each one, and then I go through and place certain images in folders that might get a future post.
I then go back and select favorite images, not always the best as far as photography goes, but something that just strikes a special chord with me, my spirit, and those that I think will make for nice shares, and then I star those.
If they are very special, they will appear alone, as well as in possibly a collage/mosaic entry.
For this special post marking 975, I have chosen some birding images, as well as Spring beauty on and around Tingsgrove, my home.
I hope that you will enjoy these selections, as well as your week.

ReplyDeleteCongratulations Mary, on all those blog posts! I haven't followed you for all that time but I do know it takes a lot of work and a lot of photos to make up a post. I enjoy your photos of nature and the birds around your home of Tingsgrove (love that name!). What is the flower with the bi-coloured bloom in blue and pink. It is gorgeous. All the best for many more posts. Blessings and hugs, Pam

ReplyDeleteWow, congratulations on 975 posts. I'm looking at all your birds and blooms and thought - you should submit to the magazine of that name as I'm sure they'd love your photos.

ReplyDeleteThere is so much beauty in your post Mary. What a glorious garden you must have, showcasing plants that are my favourites too although the dogwoods do not take kindly to our climate. The meadowlarks and red-wings are spectacular.
