Four years ago today, I published my first blog post! I have now written a total of 720 posts. When I started my blog, I really had no idea how much I would enjoy it and how much I would enjoy reading and commenting on other blogs. (After reading so many talented writers, I should feel ashamed and stop writing my blog, but I have no shame and keep blogging along!) Thanks to Meike in Germany who...CONVINCED me to have my own blog!
Recently, Richard and I had walked on the trails at Panola Mountain. There was the most beautiful butterfly on one of the benches beside the trail and Richard was able to quickly take a photo before it quickly flew away. (And I LOVE Richard's photos, don't you?) Can you see the orange on the tops of the wings? There is also orange on the underside of the wing as well.
It is a red spotted purple...and it is gorgeous!

We saw more wildlife on that that walk and I will tell you about that in another post. TRY to make it until then, okay? I know the suspense is killing you!
Thanks to all who read my blog. I appreciate you!
Happy Anniversary and nice butterfly capture.
ReplyDeleteThank you! And I will let Richard know you like his photo!

ReplyDeleteAt least my blog is young! LOL!
DeleteHappy anniversary and happy birthday to your sister. Nice way to remember how long you've been blogging. I've blogged almost 15 years now, but don't have an real date to remind me of when. I seem to never run out of things to write anyway and enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteHope you do too.
Fifteen years! That's wonderful! I love your blog, you always find the most interesting things to write about, and I love your positive attitude!
DeleteHappy blogversary to you, Kay! Here's to many more.

DeleteHappy Blogiversary! And Congratulations on a wonderful blog which has given me lovely images and thoughts about your part of the world, an area I knew next to nothing about and now consider a place of great natural beauty and interest.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kristi! "Lovely images and thoughts", that has just made my day! You are too kind.
DeleteHappy blog anniversary!
ReplyDeleteAloha from Hawaii.

ReplyDeleteThank you, John! My post about the Monastery is still very much visited every day, it is my most viewed post. You remember, it is the one where I linked to yours! :-)
DeleteHappy Blog Anniversary! Yes, i enjoy your posts and the pictures, both Richard's and yours!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mimi! I know I am not a great photographer but hey, I sometimes get the shot I am aiming for! :-)
DeleteHappy Blogiversary Kay! And no need for shame - your blog is always a fun and cheerful place to visit. Keep it up! :D
ReplyDeleteLovely, lovely butterfly. Aren't they little miracles of colour and design? It's like God poured out all His creativity and whimsy when he made them. (The God of Colour. A fascinating thought.)
When I think of all the talented people who take the time to read my blog (like you!) it totally amazes me! Thank you!
DeleteAnd I have more butterflies and butterfly info to share with you! Look out for it!
Happy Blog Anniversary! We love your blog, please keep doing exactly what you've done so far cause that's how we enjoy it :)
ReplyDeleteThat butterfly is beautiful!
I hope you had an amazing weekend with some anniversary celebrations ;D
Hugs to you,
Beate
Hello beautiful bride Beate!
DeleteThank you! You are so sweet to say that about my little blog!
And I had a MOST exciting weekend! On Saturday, I did a lot of housework and since our washing machine is trying to tear up...I had to BABYSIT the dang thing, and make sure the water worked properly!
Oh well, at least I saw a new butterfly on Sunday, I will tell you about it later!
Hugs to you, my friend!
Happy Blog Birthday Georgia Girl from Georgie Girl!
ReplyDeleteYour blog is great...you have absolutely nothing to be ashamed of...unless there's something you're not telling us!!!! :)
Hey there, Georgie Girl! (You knew I would say that, didn't you?)
DeleteRead my comment above to beatufiul Beate, I am ashamed that I have nothing more exciting to report than me standing by my washing machine monitoring the hot/cold water temps! HA!
HAPPY BLOGGING ANNIVERSARY, Kay!!! So happy I found you (or rather you found me) in this blogging universe!!! XOXOXO
ReplyDeleteThank you, my friend! Happy to know you in our blogging world. Hope to meet you in person one day. (Maybe we could climb Stone Mountain together? Hurry while I can still do it!) xxx
