Thank YOU for your kind support of my blog! Two years ago I barely made it up Hot Springs Mountain with my old Sony Cybershot camera. Not sure why I decided to climb up to the top so I shot photographs to document my hike to the top (proof for Rick my fiance’ now my husband). As I had not initially intended to hike up to the Tower it was dumb luck that I had money in my pocket from the night before when I had used my debit card for groceries. Rick had paid me cash for potatoes I grabbed for him. The cash in my pocket covered my ride to the top of the Hot Springs Tower.
Two years on this is post 378 and I was surprised, no shocked to see I have posted 15,007 photographs and 45 videos during the past 2 years. I Love Nature, every detail makes my Heart joyful. I Love sharing the wonder of each beautiful Creature, Plant, Rock, vista and everything in-between. Dian a new friend on Chime.in asked me, “Wow, that’s a lot of photography! How do you choose what stays and what goes? ” My answer, “I shoot on average 500 shots a day… I sort down for my faves then cut again looking for the photographs that have an emotional connection.” To be honest I shot 900 on this hike seeking to capture the beauty my eye sees. I sorted down from 900 to 75 photographs.
Please join me on a photo journey of my 2nd Anniversary hike in Hot Springs National Park on a dark and stormy morning. As always thank you for spending time to visit and or comment on my blog.

Congrats Baby on 2 years. I never get tired of your amazing photography. It’s like a big surprise ever time you come home to see what you have captured. I’ve observed from up close and often had the honor of going on hikes w/you…and never ever get bored. I’ve watched you start; just learning the craft, and grow and turn into an amazing craftswoman, using instincts, that remind me very much of the Ansel Adams exhibit we saw several years ago; same type detail, but with color. I remain amazed. Love ur LH Rick x0x0x
Congrats on two years and sooooo many glorious pics. I too always feel an emotional connection to your subjects. Best wishes for many, many more years filled with Light & Love …
Thank You for the beautiful message of Love and support…
Hugs,
Lee
