Thank You For Another Great Blogging Year 2009 - Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

Year 2009 in Review
Watched my baby grow. Matthew turned 12 months in May, 18 months in November. Some of you may not even noticed, but in 2009 I updated my blog with a new template design, some changes like the top header featuring my nephew James. Only managed to post about 2 moon photos. Posted about 10 photography tips, including moon photography. The 'tips' post was introduced in 2009, as well as 'digital postcards' - released 8 to date. Only 6 bird photos - I guess I was behind on chasing them this year, but I am chasing more important bird - my child now, lol. Got some new abstract photos going, mainly seeds. Lastly I covered only three main events, Matthew's First Birthday, Father's Day and Thanksgiving.

Year 2010 Forecast
Listing your accomplishments helps, but listing your goals helps too. So what's coming ... more photos, myonlyphoto website [thinking?], top header [thinking?], more moons, more birds, more animals, more abstract, more tips and digital postcards, and probably more of Matthew, and more me talking.

Lastly, I am going on the no blogging 'vacation' - I will see you next year 2010. And thank you again for your year long support.

Facts About Canada Goose [Branta canadensis]
It is believed that there are as many as 11 different races of the Canada Goose. The Canada Goose often is called the Canadian Goose, however, in the ornithological standard this name is not used. Canada Geese are named for Canada even thought they can be found all over the North America. For the local people Canada Goose is a very common bird and we tend to ignore them most of the time. For foreigners this bird can be very exotic. Just imagine a Japanese visitor chasing our geese with a camera. I didn't have to, I saw it.
