<span style="font-family: Garamond, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">My last post on this blog. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Garamond, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Guys, thanks for following me.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Garamond, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Thank you for commenting and enjoying my photographs. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Garamond, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Thanks for encouraging me and watching me grow in my photography skills. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Garamond, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">It's been awesome. Seriously.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Garamond, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I'm moving on. I'm starting ALL over.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Garamond, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I feel as though I need to do this.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Garamond, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Figure out what I really want from blogging.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Garamond, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">So, I have started a new blog, with the same name, on WordPress.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Garamond, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">eflashed.wordpress.com</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Garamond, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">It shall have all manner of photographs.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Garamond, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">It also shall have writings and ponderings from my head and heart.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Garamond, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">It will be more focused on developing my photography AND writing talent. So, slightly more organized than this blog. ;)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Garamond, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I hope to see you there.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Garamond, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Thanks everyone. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Garamond, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">:D</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Garamond, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Signing off,</span><br />

My fellow photographers, writers, creators, and readers! It's been quite a long time. Much, much has happened and I won't bore you with the details. ;) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"What's been happening?" </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, I'm in California for almost two semesters now, and I'm ashamed to say I haven't taken NEARLY as many pictures as I thought I would. Sad. I know.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But, I'll have some of the ones I like! I had forgotten how much I enjoy photography! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Silly me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These are from last August, right after I stopped blogging and right before I went to college.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I went fishing with my dad and littlest bro:) Good memories and cool cattails!</div>

On the drive to the lake we saw so many hayfields, and I'm remembering how much I love the country. I miss it too. Being in California is interesting and cool, but there's something about the country...</div>

And it's on a hill overlooking Los Angeles. Soo, that was cool too;)</div>

My lack of posts is glaring me in the face, but be assured this is <i>not</i> for lack of suitable pictures! The only logical solution for this photographer to pursue would be to post more photographs!<br />
