Two Hundred Posts

Here at wildflower blog central, we are always looking for an excuse to celebrate! So when I noticed we were approaching post number 200, I thought, wow, let's get the party favors out, bake a cake, and give the staff the afternoon off.

Our first meager post was on April 13, 2013; and it has been almost exactly two years since we hit post number 100. We don't really worry too much about the numbers, but it is fun to look back. The blogging exercise has been fun and I have actually learned some good macro photography techniques as well as many useful and interesting botanical nuggets along the way - proving that you can teach an old dog new tricks!

So if you call our office today, we'll be out celebrating on a virtual Hawaiian cruise down at the brew pub. In the mean time, here are a few of our favorite, unpublished, unrelated photos pulled out of the "extras" shoe box.

As always, feel free to leave us a comment or note and thanks for your continued interest in our modest journal.
