Hello world!

Gannets at Cape St. Mary’s

Gannets at Cape St. Mary's

Welcome to my new blog. I’ve been online in one way or another for quite a while but not this publicly before. I’m just finishing a Project 365 on Facebook where I post a photo a day for a year. I don’t plan to continue that, at least not in a formal way, but I do expect to continue taking pictures. This blog is where I’ll be posting them. If you’re a friend from Facebook, I look forward to keeping up the conversation. If you found me some other way, then you are welcome, also.

I can’t promise that this will only be photographs but that’s likely to be the emphasis. I’m not a word person, in general, although I do like reading. I’ve been known, on rare occasions, to be able to explain things using words but in general, if I have anything original to say, it will be an image.

I expect to be changing the banner image from time to time, as well. Currently the image is one I took in 1993 at Cape St. Mary’s in Newfoundland, Canada. Cathy and I enjoyed an afternoon there watching these gannets as well as auks and guillemots and the occasional razorbill.

As we approach the end of my “Year of Living Photographically” I’ve been thinking about what to do next. I don’t believe I will continue this in its current form. On the other hand, I expect to continue taking pictures, just not necessarily every day. I’ve decided that I will try to post pictures to a photo blog. It’s set up but the only image there so far is the blog’s page banner. I hope to start posting there in 2012 and will put up notes about it on Facebook.

The blog is http://www.HenryHartley.com/ (clever name, eh?).

Oh, this picture is one of the phalaenopsis orchids in my mom’s living room.
