I crashed yet another hard drive, so I have been slow to upload and post. Week 7: We went hiking out at Eagle Mountain Park. It was a beautiful day! Week 8: A selfie for my LinkedIn profile. Week 9: Another beautiful “winter” day! We […]
So, I’m a few weeks late, and I missed week 1. LOL! This year I’m taking at least one photo a week, and trying out some new things in the process. Here are the first six weeks, minus week 1. Week 2: I tried out […]
