1st of 7th

This is the first post of my seventh year.

With a gentle push from friends, I started blogging about Sabino Canyon six years ago. A lot has changed in those six years, but I like to think that Your Daily Dose of Sabino Canyon has only gotten better. The fantastic photos are the reason this blog even exists, of course, but (again) I like to think I (at least occasionally) add something of value. (I know I've learned a lot.)

I'm grateful for your readership, your kind comments, your wit and wisdom, your sense of humor. I'm exceedingly grateful to all the photographers and guest writers who make doing this a true joy. (I wish I could spend more time on it, actually.) Special thanks goes to Ned Harris, Marty Horowitz, Mark Hengesbaugh, and Fred Heath. (aka HaHoHeHe.)
