Welcome! This blog started in 2020. From 2009-2019 I was blogging through Google's "blogger" and that blog is still available, though I am not adding to it.

I think the photos I am able to post on this newer blog are of higher quality and larger viewing size, though that may depend on the size of your viewing screen.
