**These photos were on Artful Tales in the larger sizes I was trying. I will have the new, larger format on From the Front Porch – hopefully to start the New Year. I made the decision to have only one blog and From the Front Porch will be it – sticking to writing and photos of the simple things in my life that I wish to share.

I want to thank all who commented and emailed – so helpful to know how things look to you, especially when I’m sitting here dithering!

Artful Tales has been dismantled, but I am keeping the domain name, just in case… and it has sentimental value – a shared venture at it’s start.
