Upgrading my blog

I recently upgraded my WordPress blog, gmf journal, to WordPress’s premium plan, which makes available a number of features and tools, including more themes and fonts, as well as more options for posting various forms of media. It makes posting slide shows a snap and also makes it possible to post video with video press.

So, piece by piece, I am adding improvements to the gmf journal. I especially look forward to taking advantage of the media enhancements. So, stay tuned,  I plan to start using the new tools soon and I will be changing the look of the blog,  as well as adding different forms of content. I think that will result in more interesting and informative blog posts in the future.

Blizzard 2016: A few pictures from Easton. PA

I was wondering if we were ever going to get a real snow storm this winter. Mother Nature really did deliver this past weekend. The Lehigh Valley was buried with 30 plus inches of snow. I was able to capture a few scenes from our latest snow-apocalypse here in Easton, PA. I actually had to work the Saturday that the big storm hit. Fortunately, I live within walking distance of my place of work in Easton, PA, but the walk to and from the office was a bit more challenging than usual, although I must say I enjoyed the stark white imagery that storm created.
