There are no rules.
Rule #2
If there are any questions concerning rules, refer to Rule #1.
In a perfect world I would post every single morning at 6:00 a.m. Each post would contain a beautiful "front cover" image along with detailed photographic information. The subject would be correctly identified (Latin: genus and species) and verified by several leading scientists. The text would read like Rachel Carson and be proof read by at least a dozen retired English teachers.
Actually, in a TRULY perfect world I would be off shooting on assignment for National Geographic, for months on end, while someone else did all of the above for me.
However, this is not a perfect world and this is just a BLOG. And this blog is ALL about fun. Remember: Passion not perfection. This is simply a journal, of sorts, posted for family and friends who might be interested in my outdoor ramblings. This is also the Reader's Digest condensed version for those of you who become bored to tears with my verbal ramblings.
I will surprise myself if I post even twice a week and, trust me, it will not be at 6:00 a.m. If I am ever up at that hour, I am outdoors with my camera in tow. The images will feature the subject and not necessarily be the most beautiful or artsy of photographs.
My subjects may or may not be identified. If they are identified, the information may or may not be correct. I am certainly not an expert, I just check the guide books like everyone else.
Last, but certainly not least, there was only one Rachel Carson; and having read this far, it may be painfully obvious that my old English teachers will have nothing to do with me. However, if I bow down to the false god of perfection, I would not ever get a word written.
Therefore, the first set of rules to be thrown out are (is?) the grammatical ones!
P.S. If you are not familiar with Rachel Carson, she is a writer worth looking up. www.rachelcarson.org
