For nearly 4 years, I've posted here on photoblog, and I've enjoyed it so much. Thank you to everyone who came by, and thank you for all the great comments. I'm posting to say goodbye because I see by the number of visits that many of you check back often, and I won't be posting any more pictures on the blog.

All is well with me, and I'm mostly busy with other things. Also, my camera is giving up the ghost, and I'm not ready to get a new one. I'll return to photography, and I think I'd like to take some courses next year, but I don't think I'll return to the blog format. I've found I restrict and inhibit myself more and more in what I post and write, which takes the fun out of it.

I'm ending with this photo, which I took a couple of years ago, because it is one of my favourites, and I lost the file when my hard drive crashed. My blog is my only version of it.
