Photo Every Day
Two Years Ago this Week : Framing Nature
Today’s Wordless Wednesday photo was taken in downtown Asheville, N.C.

Weekly Photo Challenge : Beginning
For the past few weeks I have been highlighting posts from 2013 that either were well viewed or in a couple of cases, my personal favorites. Today’s post which I also think is a perfect fit for the WordPress’ Weekly Challenge this week : Beginning is the last in that series, (I promise!)
This post originally ran July 23, 2013, a little over a month after the blog went daily so there is a pretty good chance most of you have not seen it yet. (please see second photo and more text below) Read More
