What’s New –
4/10/2022 – added Greycliff photos to landscape photo gallery.
1/1/2021 – Updated Blog Categories to include Inspirations – a combination of Photography and poetry by myself an others. Inspirations might be just what you need to spark up your day
– Photography Menu – Selecting Photography will bring up Blog entries that showcase my own photos along with my writing. The sub categories will grow beyond Landscape photography, currently they are royalty free as long as credit is given back to my blog.
As always … Thanks for stopping by! – gfs

Congratulations on your ABC Award!
As the originator of this award you may be interested to know that I have now set up a Facebook group for all bloggers who have been given the ABC Award – a place for you to meet new bloggers, and share and support each other. You can join the group here:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/ABCaward/?bookmark_t=group
Please also let any other bloggers, that you know have been given the award, know about this group too – then we can all ‘spread the word’
I have also set up a Facebook page – the ABC Award – where you can now add links to all of your blog posts and writing – share your work with a new audience, gain new readers, and find out what other ABC Award bloggers are writing about.
You can find the page here:
https://www.facebook.com/ABCaward?bookmark_t=page
Just ‘like’ the page and get started – and do let all your blog readers know about this page – I believe that all of our blogs can only be improved by letting our readers know about other blogs – that way you will also have new readers discover you too!
Happy blogging – and congratulations again on the ABC Award – you’re awesome!
Challenge you to a Lucky 7 MEME Challenge
Sorry, it took time for me to pass on. Have fun. 🙂

I like the new look!
Thanks. Still a little more clean up to do. Have links to my books to add, and I’d like to make it easier for visitors to find blogs I follow. I suggested recently that a lady named Bonnie reach out to you her husband is a Vietnam Veteran. Not sure if she will but she’s a good soul …
This is breath taking.
Visited. Nice to see and read.
Thank you for stopping by !
I could tell immediately that something looked different here 😉 Looking forward to exploring your new look/format/ideas. Thanks again for your support…it is taken with great gratitude!
