NEW BLOG: I hope that the Truth Laid Bear will forgive my doing this, but I have just created and linked myself to a new blog of my own creation; this smacks of trying to rig the TTLB system, I know, which is not my intention here. Akaky's Amateur Photo Hour is a photoblog; some of the pictures are mine, others are stuff I find along the way as I scour the Internet daily. I am not abandoning The Passing Parade; far from it, I am still having fun with it, although it is a lot of work, and my next post here will be my 500th since I started the parade back in 2003. I am just expanding my horizons a bit and hope you enjoy the ride as well. If it doesn't really work out, then I will delete the new blog and just go on as before, but as they say, nothing ventured, nothing gained.
