A New Direction

When I started this blog my intention was to share a photo every day.

As I can sometimes go days at a time without taking any photos, this meant that I would often need to go digging into my archives for interesting shots, then editing them to look their best here. Some days it was fun, others it just felt like hard work. Committing to doing something every day regardless of whether I could spare the time or not was clearly a mistake.

At the same time I sometimes feel that I want to write about things that aren't related to my photos. As I already have a second blog focusing on my bonsai trees, I didn't want to commit to any more.

For a while I toyed with the idea of giving up on this blog and starting a new one from scratch, but I felt that doing so would be wasting the time and effort I'd already put into this one. I actually quite like some of my posts though there are a few that I may delete in time.

This post marks a new direction for my blog, and with it a new name. I'll try to keep it quirky :)

Linking up with The Ultimate Rabbit Hole and The Weekend in Black and White.

In the Beginning

I don't remember exactly when I got my first serious camera, but I'm pretty sure that I must have been somewhere in my twenties at the time. Although that camera was big and heavy, I carried it everywhere I went and I've rarely been seen without a camera since.

Over the years I've accumulated thousands of photos which have been sitting unseen on my computer, so I guess that it's time to send them out into the world where, hopefully, somebody will like them.

My aim for this blog is to try to share something with you every day. Some of the photos will be new, but I also plan to dig into my archives and see what buried treasure I can find.

I thought it would be appropriate to start with a photo showing a beginning, so I chose this photo of a mango seedling shortly after germination. Today this seedling has become a small tree which is growing in a pot among my bonsai trees.
