BLOGAVERSARY! The First Four Years

FOUR YEARS and counting!

That's how long the Selma, Ala., Daily Photo has posted a picture-almost-a-day as part of the City Daily Photo Blogs. 

When this blog began, there were more than 200 CDPB blogs worldwide.

We were a cozy family, sharing comments and getting to know each other, our cities and cultures.

Today, there are 1,368 CDPB blogs!

Many of the original blogs no longer exist, while some take occasional leaves of absence as I did recently.

But meeting new photo bloggers and new cities never ceases,

and I've managed to stay in touch with several that I "met" early on...

Kate (St. Paul, Minn.); Honest Abe Lincoln (Brookville, Ohio); Jim (Terrell, Texas); and others.

I can always count on Jack (Hartford, Conn.); Lois (Tallahassee, Fla.), EG WOW (East Gwillembury, Canada); 

Tanya (Roanoke, Va.), Jacob (The Village, Ocala, Cedar Key) Fla.; 

and Leif (Eagan, Minn.) to visit  often and leave a kind comment.  

It's great to have support from fellow Alabama Daily Photo bloggers Virginia of Birmingham and Bfarr of Phenix City.

Then, when I think I've snapped all the possible pictures of Selma and no more are left anywhere,

along come friends and acquaintances donating a few of their photos toward THE CAUSE.

But if it wasn't for Moon in Selma, N.C., I might never have started this extended photo album.

When I saw his blog from a Selma that is much smaller than my Selma,

I figured the project wasn't as difficult as it seemed.

So four years and almost 1,400 photos later...

Selma and surroundings are challenging me to keep on learning and keep on sharing.

So welcome to another year! 

And many, many thanks to everyone!
