Dear Jennifer,
I love your site! I would have liked to be able to follow each photo back to the blog post it originated from. Your partial descriptions made me want to know more! Direct links to those articles would be a boon to your new followers. Like me for instance. 🙂
Thank you for all the loveliness,
Lynda
PS: I realize that catching up would be a herculean task, but maybe you could do it for any new photographs?
I am glad that you enjoyed browsing through our photo gallery. I’ll add your suggestion to my to-do list. Stay tuned and I hope that you’ll visit again soon!
