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.

April the Giraffe (who is in the news again, just coincidentally)
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.
Uh oh... I hope your computer holds out.
ReplyDeleteSo do I. I have a smartphone, but it just isn't the same.

DeleteAlana,
ReplyDeleteYou sound as bad as DH keeping all those pictures on your iPhone. I always upload mine to the computer and then remove the masses from my phone because it drives me nuts. lol Anywho, I shall look forward to your April posts which sounds interesting since I'm a photo enthusaiasts as you know. Here we go another year of A2Zing! ;)
Uh oh, now I'm under pressure. Gulp. Only kidding. But hope you enjoy my posts. I'm far behind in preparation.
ReplyDeleteWow, 10 years, congratulations. Love your A - Z theme, looking forward to your posts.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good theme! Should be fun!
ReplyDeleteI love photography too and am looking forward to checking out some of your posts. Good luck with the challenge! (I've retired from it, but still like to read what others are doing.) Here's hoping your laptop doesn't let you down.
