I'm Back . . .

 Civil War reenactor, Chickamauga Battlefield National Military Park, Georgia.

 . . . with a new blog design, courtesy of my granddaughter, Jennifer Jenkins Steinmetz.

I didn't intend to stay away so long, but frankly, after nearly 800 posts since 2019, I was written out. But now I'm back at my keyboard and will try to post new blogs Monday, Wednesday, and Friday as before. But I'm not promising anything.

Part of my problem is that I'm not making any new pictures. I've had persistent trouble with my back and legs since I had a bad fall in August, 2024. I can walk, (with a cane) but it isn't much fun, and it's difficult to do the kind of photography I like to do if I can't walk freely.  

Jennifer, my oldest grandchild, grew up in the Atlanta area but went to college in Idaho. She met a really fine young man there, married him, and has been there ever since, producing five beautiful children along the way. She has always wanted to return to Georgia, and now it's happening. Her husband has been offered a good job with a medical firm in a northeast suburb of Atlanta, and they're moving back in December. 

 

 Jennifer

Jennifer is a talented writer with a good eye for design. She blogs at https://peachesandpotatoes.com/.

This redesign of my blog is not yet complete. Some of the links do not work, and we have not yet chosen a background color. However, I've decided to go ahead and use the design. It may take some time to get the bugs worked out, because, as I said, Jennifer is moving and will have little time to work on it.

The photo of the Civil War reenactor was made around 1976 with a Nikkormat Camera, a 100mm Vivitar lens, and Kodachrome film. It was my first prize-winning photograph.

See my October 3rd post for information about ordering original prints from the Rock City Barns book.
