Happy anniversary!

It is by accident that I've noticed this exactly today, because it certainly doesn't feel that way, but I've been exhibiting my obviously unsurpassed graphomaniacal phase here for a whole year exactly today. :-) I have to admit I'm pleasantly surprised, because I didn't think I would post often after a month or two, nor did I think that people would still be actually reading this after such a time.

A little statistic is in order to summarise: on average I've written more than one new post each week (58), received over 28 hits each day (10500!) produced three and a half megabytes of hypertext, linked hundreds of images... and thanks to this blog (and having a fairly uncommon surname, of course :-D) I am now officially #1 Hinca on the web. ;-)

And while, naturally, creating something and having my thoughts and photos online in one place is a sort of motivation for me in itself, it wouldn't be worth it without all of you participating, and maybe appreciating it with an occasional word of praise. :-) So thank you all, and I hope that the coming year is going to be just as good!

Squirrels!

This one is for the kids mostly, although there is one photo here that I especially like: The squirrel with the old woman's hand. She was a real deranged hermit :-), the squirrels had some strange affinity towards her. Kulida will kindly forgive that there are only two squirrels, yet several photos. :-P All shot in St. James park.






And I'll also add the hermit for Filip. :-) And a little bird also on her hand. It was a nice and entertaining shoot overall, and I was pleasantly surprised at the amount of detail and magnification I was able to squeeze from the lens.
