Yup. The first post went live on July 6, 2010, a week after I retired. You need something to do when you become a man of leisure.
Thanks to the readers, whether the regulars, the occasionals or the one-timers. It didn't occur to me that people would actually look at the blog and some would comment. How cool!

ReplyDeleteOh, Happy Blogoversary indeed, Jack!! I started blogging nearly five years ago -- I was going nuts after I retired!! I had traveled and lived in Mexico, visited all of my kids and suddenly had no idea what to do with myself????? My son gave me a camera and told me to go have fun and I did and I have and I do! Every day! And isn't life wonderful!! Have a great weekend!

ReplyDeleteNice 50 eyes!
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary! Best wishes!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your anniversary. Like your post!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! I hope to join the cohort of retired in two years... would go now if I had medical...
ReplyDeleteIt is cool isn't it?! It is a fun hobby. Congrats on the anniversary. I enjoy your posts and appreciate your comments.
ReplyDeleteYea for your two years, Jack! Fabulous photo to represent your milestone.
ReplyDeleteAbout your comment asking if I'd ever thought of being a mechanic, I laughed out loud. One of my pet peeves while growing up was the fact that Daddy taught my brother Howard all sorts of auto-related skills and didn't teach me one thing. I'm eternally curious about how engines work (both automobiles and trains) and adore the design of many vintage autos and steam engines. Living in Portland is so fine for many reasons, one of which is the number of vintage vehicles driven daily.
Happy blog-birthday!
ReplyDeleteCongrats Jack! Blogging is a great way of catching up with people from different corners and different cultures around the world ... a very worthwhile past-time.
ReplyDeleteI've enjoyed your snippets from Hartford. Well Done.
Congratulations on your second anniversary. And for figuring out how to be in more than one place at a time!
ReplyDeleteGreat caleidoscopic reflection. Like it
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Jack! And what a cool kaleidoscope.
ReplyDeleteA funny shot to celebrate! I'm glad you started your blog. I really would like to visit Hartford one of these days. You do a good job of showing the best side of the city. :)
ReplyDeleteHooray for you, Jack. Happy blog birthday.
ReplyDeleteTwo whole years!!! What a wonderful blog you have - I enjoy it every time I visit.
ReplyDeleteYou have chosen a great way to spend your time, Jack. And you are a natural behind the camera.
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary, Jack! Few people understand the time and commitment it takes to continue a quality photo blog like HDP. Well done. Hope you're still enjoying it as much as we enjoy your posts.
ReplyDeletecongratulations!
