WILDFLOWER WALKS IN THE LOCAL WILDERNESS

Wildflower walks after a wet spring? Don’t go too early. I found this flower and not much else. What I did find was even better.

HOMEWARD BOUND ON HAWAIIAN WATERS

I felt homeward bound with my head underwater and breathing though a snorkel. No, I wasn’t drowning, just mingling with the fish on Kauai. Lots of fish everyday. So many that you could miss those swimming just under the surface, so look up.

SINGING ALONG, OR ALONE, BUT SING IT

When is the last time you were singing along with anyone outside of church? Chances are it’s been a while if you’re not churched, or not in a band. Is it because you don’t have a song to sing? We can fix that. But it’s more than lack of a song, isn’t it?

BLOG TRAFFIC: CLICK THROUGH READER CAN’T GET NO SATISFACTION

    Does blog traffic show up unexpected? What makes readers stay and look around once they do find you on accident?   First, it’s not an accident. At least blog traffic shouldn’t be accidental. That’s why we buy and install Genesis framework on a wordpress platform with a News theme from Studio Press.   […]

Web design professionals say don’t forget about us. If you’ve done that, and are happy with the results, you’re caught up. If not, you […]

NW Boomer Writing Process
