Left? Right? Sometimes it's hard to know which way to go.

Maybe You’ve Noticed

If you’ve followed this blog for more than a few months, perhaps you’ve noticed that the frequency of my posts dropped off in recent weeks. Prior to July, I was averaging about one post every other day. In July, though, my average fell to about one post every week. And now we’re in the month of August.

Looking Back

It was just over a year ago — on August 1, 2008 — that I started this photo blog. Over the past year, I’ve had the privilege of meeting and photographing so many Lewisville citizens, including some beautiful little citizens who quickly captured my heart.

I’ve shared photos of many of Lewisville’s events — such as the Starlight Movie Nites, Music Under the Stars, the West Side Civic Theatre productions, the Beach Blast and the Fourth of July.

I’ve shared photos of flowers and birds, of autumn and glistening snow, of church activities and local historical events. I’ve covered the wide variety of library activities, and I’ve been privileged to cover veterans events, including the annual Memorial Day Service. I’ve also photographed the biking and golfing events that have served as charitable fund-raisers.

Discoveries

In essence, I’ve tried to reflect with my photos something of what it’s like to live in the small but lovely Town of Lewisville, North Carolina. As I stated on my About page, I’ve truly been looking for adventure and inspiration in our very midst; and I believe I’ve found them on numerous occasions — but that wasn’t all that I found. As I initially wrote, I suspected I’d find more:

As I go about my town, venturing down little roads I’ve not explored before, or into the lives of people I’ve not yet met, I’ll share my discoveries with you. I’ll share what I’m learning about life, about photography, and sometimes about myself.

Yes, besides meeting many wonderful folks and sharing many photographic moments, I’ve learned a few more things about myself along the way. Please continue to the NEXT SECTION. CLICK for more discoveries

100 Moments

Marking a Milestone

Since launching the LewisvillePhotos.com photo blog on August 1, 2008, I’ve been privileged to showcase 100 moments of life in our beloved Lewisville, North Carolina.

Within a little over six months, the blog’s photos have included walkers, bikers, animals of various kinds, flowers, old cars, autumn scenes, snow scenes, the outdoor dramas at the Square, programs at the library, concerts, old buildings and houses, a sunlit field, a foggy morning, worship services, the Christmas parade, and many, many beautiful children.

As a way of marking this 100-moment milestone, I’ve provided FIVE COLLAGES containing the lead photos from all of the 100 blog posts, in the order in which they were published.

PLEASE NOTE: If you wish to read an EXPANDED VERSION of this post in which I comment on certain photos in each of the collage sections, go ahead and CLICK to be taken to the 100 Moments (Expanded) page. That page contains everything in this condensed post, and much more. However, if you just mainly want to look at the collages, then stay on this page and click on the link following the first collage shown below. That link will take you to the NEXT SECTION of this simplified version.
