Thank you

The ongoing and growing support of our readers is gratifying. Today we reached a new milestone with our first 1,000-reader week.

The blog is the result of many hours of work and much of the "news" comes from you. In the next few weeks you will begin to see more advertisers joining the blog. Please support them and tell them you saw their ads on the blog. They are our only source of income. The community needs to support them too. They are a vital part of our community.

People have suggested that we charge for the photgraphs we post, or that we establish a subscription list of some sort. We have resisted the ideas because we believe this is a community blog and the contents should be accessible to everyone.

That makes it even more important that you support the advertisers. They are an important part of this venture.

Once again, thanks!
