4th Of July 2018 Trip Photos

This past week, the family and I headed to San Antonio for the 4th of July holiday.  I naturally wanted to take some photos, and we wanted to see some fireworks.  In addition, the eldest wanted to start looking at college campuses.

The trip was a lot of fun, and I did get some good photos (see below), but the weather did not cooperate for the fireworks.  There was some serious rain in the afternoon, and the Powers That Be(TM) decided to cancel the displays.

We did end up spending a lot of time wandering around the River Walk which was nice and relaxing.  Our favorite places were still there, so we enjoyed some good food and ice cream.

As you can see, the light was good, and the River Walk was nice and lush.

We did get to SA a few years back for the 4th, and we enjoyed it then, as well.

 

Reflecting on 12 years and counting

I was reflecting on something today.  12 years ago today, I posted something on one of my first blogs (which has since been merged into this one).

In the years in between, I have had two photo blogs which I did a very good job up updating on a regular basis.

One of them, I posted almost daily  for around 8 years, with over 1950 posts.

The other, I took, processed, and posted a new picture every day for a little over a year back in 2009.  I tried to restart it two years ago, and did not get nearly as far.

This blog, I have not been doing as good of a job updating it (129 posts including this one in 12 years). But, I have tried to post at least once a month.  Most of the time, I can make that.   Sometimes, not as much.

Thanks for being on the ride as I am try to make this a bit better and more interesting than the occasional travel pics.
