I can hardly believe it was my 7th Blog Anniversary on July 13, 2016. It seems like a lot of bloggers lately were also celebrating their 7th year of blogging. I have enjoyed sharing my nature photos, the birds and critters, beautiful scenery and skies. I appreciate everyone that has been following me, visiting my blog and for all the wonderful comments.
To start off my 8th year of blogging I am sharing photos from past 7 anniversaries. I hope you enjoy and thanks again for being here to share it with me.
1st Anniversary, I share this pretty moon photo.
Also from my 1st anniversary..Memories of my Goldie Girl swimming at the lake.
Year 2, we went on a cruise to Bermuda. I captured this Great Kiskadee on a fence.
Also from year 2 and Bermuda. Another shot of the Great Kiskadee.
3rd Anniversary, some backyard birds, butterflies and blooms.
Also 3rd year, my hubby's hibiscus plant was blooming well. This year it is not doing well, the critters are attacking it.
4th Anniversary, a bear cub seen during one of our Skyline Drive trips.
Also 4th year, A trip and scenes from a visit to Shenandoah National Park.
The 5th Anniversary, A Scarlet Tanager in the weeping cherry tree.
Also the 5th year, mosiac of my backyard birds. They like to sit in our weeping cherry tree.
From my 6th Anniversary. I shared the female Cardinal and some of the summer blooms in our yard.
For my 7th Anniversary, I have a pretty Fritillary butterfly on our Lantana plant.
Also sharing for the 7th anniversary the Strawberry moon.
I hope you enjoyed my Anniversary post. Again, I thank you for all your visits over the last 7 years. I appreciate the time you take to leave me comments.
I wish everyone a happy day and weekend ahead.
Here is a list of linky parties for part of the week, I hope to see you there. I have a few fence and my deck railing for Tex's Party and some pretty sky shots.
