Two years old ~ Happy blogoversary!

I didn't relized that I have been blogging for 2 years until Teena in Toronto posted a comment "Happy blogoversary!" yesterday.
My first posting in this blog was on November 11, 2006, about my 'first love' with Amiga 500 Computer, 23 years ago.
This is the screen shot of my posting at the newsgroup 15 years ago, using UUCP text base command line interface, (hypertext and the www was born in 1991)

My early entry in this blog were about family travel, personal rambling, PDA and GPS.
It evolved over time and my hobby changed.
I have changed the tittle of this blog a few time , from; "My Personal & random thoughts" to "GPS, PDA and dSLR Addicts" to "Birds and Digital SLR Passion" to present "Birds and Nature Photography - by Tabib"

This two Magpie Robin pictures were taken at the same metal perch. Notice how much difference after 17 months of birds photography.
