My Blog's History


Dune jumping on vacation when I was 8.
Four years ago I decided to start a blog, after all my sister and mother had one. Why shouldn't I, a boy of eight? So I started, well my mother did and within a few days I had my first post. It was carefully typed, along with the 23 other posts I made before 2009, by the loving hands of my mother. She was my official typist before I learned how to type. For the first few weeks I posted daily, and then weekly, later monthly, finally never. “The Young Naturalist” dwindled into obscurity.

My sister's blog had a slightly prolonged version of my blog's fate. So, three years later when she started a new blog, her old one was all but forgotten. Her new blog, “A Child's Privilege” was very nice. It encouraged me to re-try Blogger. I flew right onto the job. I called it many names starting with 'Fins Feathers and Fur,” and finally settling on “Heavenly Light Photography”.
About 2 months ago I decided to freshen-up “The Young Naturalist” as a blog about my life, and here you are reading it. I hope you find it interesting.
