Millstones at the Ogeechee River Mill, Hancock County, Georgia.
I would usually rather write about millstones than milestones, but this is a bit of a milestone for me -- it's post number 600 since I began this blog.
I actually began in 2011, wrote six posts, then took an eight year hiatus, returning in December, 2019. Since then I've been posting three times a week except when life gets in the way, as it sometimes does.
I realize that 600 posts aren't that many, compared to other bloggers who have written thousands of posts over many years, but for me it's an accomplishment to have had enough discipline to stick to something I wasn't being paid to do.
A few readers have been with me almost from the beginning; some have jumped in later and then gone back and read every post, and most, I expect, just happen to visit from time to time when something catches their eyes. I'm grateful to all of you, and I have only one request -- I wish you would comment when something I write resonates with you.
Also, I would greatly appreciate it if you would sign your name to your comment. I realize that the Blogger software makes it unnecessarily difficult to do this, so just comment as "Anonymous," then sign your name at the end of your comment.
And whether you comment or not, thank you very much for reading my blog.

DeleteI look forward to and enjoy your blogs! When I read your words, they always take me back to sitting next to you while you smoke your tobacco pipe as a little girl! Special memories I will always cherish! Love you, Uncle David!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Ashley. That is really sweet. I had no idea you had such memories.
Delete600 may not the thousands but it is still a lot! Thank you for writing your blog, in particular your advice that photography is about seeing. Your words are resonating even across the ocean, to a little country called Norway.
ReplyDeleteAsgeir, thank you for your comment. It's an encouragement to me. I'm glad you get my message about seeing.
