Reflections on two years of Blip.

When you see someone really enjoying what they do, something inside you says, "I wouldn't mind a bit of that too." On a visit to see Wendybee and her squirrels in her garden I saw her delight in giving and receiving comments from all over the world for her beautiful journal. I wanted to persuade her to come to blip our part of Switzerland. However, Wendy is a homebird and when motor neurone diease started to take over her body I started blipping our mountains for her.

So for all of you who regularly visit our part of Switzerland via blip, I thank you for the time you take to comment. But most of all, I thank you, Wendy, for that initial photographic encouragement and so many supportive and loving moments in life before blip too.

This is a quote which really sounded a chord with me when I read it, especially as I enjoy the wait and chase of animal photography, "Photography is not a predatory pursuit, you should not think about taking pictures but making them." Matheson Beaumont from Chasing the Southern Light.

Thanks to you all at Blip Central.
