Today is my two-year anniversary on Word Press! I can’t believe how time has flown by! What a better way to celebrate what being here means to me than to post an image of my good friend, and fellow blogger, Dan Shehan. A few days ago we took a drive up Mt. Diablo and it was glorious! It was a quiet day on the mountain since it was a weekday and my favorite shot of the day was this one….Dan doing what he loves to do!
Mt. Diablo Factoids: The mountain is 3,864 at its summit. In the winter, once or twice it will get covered in snow and all of us down here in the valley can “ooo” and “ahhh” over the beautiful picturesque mountain covered in snow without having to live in it lol. Yes, I am a wimp when it comes to snow. (Spoken like a true San Francisco Bay Area native.)
I’ve met so many great people here through Word Press and have learned so much about my hobby through others here. It’s not just sharing my photos, it’s meeting others who have similar passions and seeing the world through others’ eyes in a community sense. I’ve always believed that we are all teachers and students and that’s how I feel here, so thank you.

Thank you for this Carrie. You are so sweet. I LOVE the image of your son with the apples. It is SO cute! By the way, you’d think after two years I’d know how to pingback! How did you do this? lol
November 25, 2014 at 7:02 am
Woohoo! Congrats Laura 🙂 That is a great portrait of Dan! Evocative of some of his work too. Like you, I’ve really gained so much from being a part of this community 🙂 Inspiring each other along the way is such a positive part of blogging!
November 25, 2014 at 7:15 am
Thank you Sarah! I never really thought about it but it *does* have some sort of Dan-ish look about it hehe. I do love being here with all of you. *group hug*!
November 25, 2014 at 12:38 pm
A round-the-world group hug 😀 We often do things with our art completely unconsciously, depending on mood, who we’re with, what other art we’ve been looking at etc etc! It’s something I really love about art 🙂 It’s got soul!
November 25, 2014 at 12:42 pm
Hugs back!!
November 25, 2014 at 8:27 am
I’m blushing (and flattered) right now Laura, hehe. Thanks for sharing the day with me and super congrats on two years.
November 25, 2014 at 12:52 pm
You’re sooo welcome Dan! It was the first of many more I’m sure! :)). So glad to have made a friend in you.
