Bend Branches birthday

Ten years ago today, I published my first post on this blog. I am celebrating Bend Branches birthday with a little treat.

My first post was titled, Time. It featured a photo of my favorite western juniper tree in my yard in Bend, Oregon. A winter sunset paints the skies in the background.

My post also included the following observation:

β€œThe twists and turns of time can ravage one or make them into a thing of beauty.”

Thank you to my followers and to others who stop by to view my posts. Your likes and comments have encouraged and inspired me. I hope to celebrate another Bend Branches birthday ten years from now.

Bend Branches always appreciates your comments and likes. Comments may not appear right away since they’re screened for spam prior to posting. Thanks!
