This blog is going away!

Hi all. I am glad you have been following along with my photographic adventures. I have created a Facebook page to post my photos. I get much more traffic there. I will keep this blog up for a few more weeks and then it will be deleted.

Here is the link to the new page; www.facebook.com/firewxphoto I invite you all to check out that page and if you feel so inclined, like the page. By doing so, that will ensure you are notified whenever I post new photos.

I hope to see you all over there soon.

Thanks....
