Birthday Begonia

Shameless Birthday Plug! I ought to go back to see what photos I've posted here on my past birthdays.

 

I wrote the other day that I'd explain my absence on Flickr. Now that it's summer, I've been trying to stay disconnected. I spend a lot of time complaining that we are always online, on our cell phones, etc., and that I wasn't part of all that. (I am more Emerson/Thoreau -like and avoid pop culture, pop-anything.) I still don't have, nor plan on getting, a cell phone. Just another distraction. I've just not been getting online at all. When the computer is on, I am working on the coming year or listening to music (PHISH!) We all need to disconnect, I suggest.

 

This photo will be the first in a new Macro Album. The last had 500 photos in it, so it's time to make a new one.

 

Thanks for Reading and Viewing.
