3 Years and Counting!

by Ron on August 14, 2009

Muskrat.  I photographed this guy much earlier this summer in Wasilla, Alaska.

Muskrat. I photographed this guy much earlier this summer.

It was three years ago today that I started this blog.  Back then I feared I would run out of things to post about, but as time goes on, my list of blog topics has actually gotten much longer – I just need to find the time to write!

Since I started the blog three years ago I have made 803 posts, received 10,209 wonderful comments, and had to block 152,705 spam comments!

Acknowledging my blog anniversary is probably the wrong time to also be announcing a decrease in activity, but I’m going to be on a week long assignment where I probably won’t have Internet, so there may not be much going on here outside of maybe one or two scheduled posts.

Congrats on 3 years, I have enjoyed the pictures and comments -thanks for sharing.

Thanks a lot Dennis!

Three years is an incredible accomplishment and the quality of the photos remains superb–always a great variety and always beautiful. (I’ve been doing my Daily Tips blog for about nine months now and finding the time, energy and ideas is more demanding that it might seem. I always seem to be a few days behind.) Equally amazing is that you’ve gotten more than 10,000 comments. Zikes! It takes a lot to motivate people to comment and apparently you’ve tapped into that need. By the way, nice muskrat shot–love the surface of the water.

Thanks a lot Jeff! I look forward to taking a look at your site when I get back to the office.

Congratulations on 3 years, Ron. I don’t get the time to visit a lot of blogs regularly, but yours is one I never miss. I love your photography. Have a good trip!

Awesome blog! Keep up the good work! Always look forward to seeing your photos. Hope you have a nice week.

Congrats Ron. Time really goes by fast. It has been a pleasure looking at your posts almost daily seeing a lot of things that I never would have seen otherwise and another photographer’s take on familiar some places.

That’s great Ron – keep up the great work. Always enjoy my visits here to see what you have encountered lately. Seems you have a hard time staying in one place. ;-)

Happy Blog Anniversary Ron. Congrats on a great run so far. I look forward to seeing more of your great photography and tips.

Well I haven’t been following your blog for 3 years, but I have enjoyed it ever since I discovered it. Thanks.

Hey Ron,

Keep up the great effort here, bud.

Cheers

Big congrats man, I’m always stopping by to check out your site and your blog. Great stuff, every time! Your hard work is much appreciated.

Mom August 21, 2009 at 10:21 am

Congratulations Ron, you helped me start my Blog before you began yours, so I’m three months ahead of you. But, now way do I have anywhere near 10,000 + comments! Good job and beautiful work.
Love, Mom

Congratulations, Ron! Many photographers start a blog but are unable to post to it regularly. I’ve always been impressed that you manage to post frequently, even while you’re on the road. Reading and viewing your blog helped motivate me to try blogging myself, and of course your photos are consistently inspiring.

Carl D August 21, 2009 at 11:10 pm

Hey Ron,

I can’t believe you counted up each of those spam comments. :)

Cheers

Carl
