One of my resolutions in the new year is to be more organized and keep up-to-date with my projects. I've spent a fair amount of time combing through my images in the past week and have some updates lined up for the coming year.

Maybe I can take advantage of some of the mandatory furlough days a work to take new photos and visit botanic gardens when things warm up a little!

The new gallery layout has been on hold as I've undertaken behind- the-secenes upgrades of software running the site. The current target date for the full migration to the new gallery layout is March 31, 2010.

In that same vein, please let me know if there are any changes you'd like to see to the gallery. Now's the time to add changes — I'm reprogramming everything else, anyhow.

Keep warm, enjoy those incoming plant catalogs, and I'll send you another gallery update in two weeks.
