I found out yesterday that Joni over at My Piece of Heaven has closed her blog. She runs a farm with her husband and also works as a medical transcriber. Apparently Joni is increasing her hours at work and she has decided that with the extra work and the farm to run she won't be able to fit blogging in, at least not to the standard that she wishes to. I completely understand but I am sad that I won't be able to visit her blog anymore. Joni posted everyday and displayed amazing photos of the beautiful and varied wildlife in her part of the world, including her new puppy Cooper!

We work with what God gives us, what a good eye for balance and photography you have. Not only the pictuure of the tree, but the depth of feeling it evokes as well.
ReplyDeleteHello Bowledover! Thank you for your compliment. I have to say I did have the most amazing subject in this instance and thanks to the wonders of digital cameras also took 125 photos! xx
ReplyDeleteOnly 125, well now, you could of course produce your own book depicting Trees that I have visited.
ReplyDeleteI prefer Trees That I Have Known as a title.
That sounds like a good idea! I should certainly forward a picture to the official website for this tree, their picture does not do it justice.
