Blogging from A to Z Reveal

 (If you are looking for my Music Monday post, click here. )

The other day, my son called me a digital hoarder.   Yes, and I can blame blogging for some of it.

I started to blog in April of 2009 so, sometime during April's Blogging from A to Z Challenge, I will be marking my 10th anniversary in the blogging world.  Not only that, but the Blogging from A to Z Challenge is celebrating its 10th

My theme for this year took a lot of thought.   But, in scrolling through the over 8,000 photos on my iPhone (no, I'm not kidding, and I have an old iPhone with another couple of thousand) trying to find a photo of April the Giraffe, it came to me.

My theme for Blogging from A to Z 2019 is:  Finding America Through Photos.

I love blogging.  I love (amateur) photography. Since 2012, when I purchased my first iPhone, I've been to many places in the United States:  various parts of New York State, including New York City.  Florida (three times).  Virginia (several times).  North and South Carolina.  Georgia. Missouri.  Arkansas.  New Jersey.  Pennsylvania.  Maryland.

Wherever I go, I take pictures.  Not so much of people, but of things.  Quirky things.  Historic things.  Plants.  Birds.

Why not share some of those pictures with you?  I don't mean pictures of the normal tourist attractions.  (Ok, well, maybe a couple).  No, I find other things. 

What is going to be more interesting is that the motherboard on my desktop computer has gone bad, and guess where I had already put some of these photos, trying to get a head start. (Oh well. Just adds to the challenge.)  Hold breath that my laptop (which is over six years old) holds out.

I hope you will join me on this journey, starting April 1.
I'd love to have you join me.  In fact, why not comment below (with a link to your blog) if you plan to participate!

If you are new to A to Z and want a guide, an experienced blogger shares some hints with you.

By the way, it is not too late to sign up for the Blogging from A to Z Challenge.  I hope to see you there on April 1.
