HOTSHOTS ~ 4/1/25
~ Photography Lovers Community Curation ~
Howdy y'all! This is the last long-form post until I get caught up. I have not been as active as I would have liked to have been in the last few weeks. I explained all of that already so, let's just get to the shots.
All of these are 2 to 3 weeks old by now or more. So, you can check out the profiles of the posts you enjoyed the most and go support their current posts if you feel inclined to.
The next few posts will definitely have much fewer images to 'digest' and that will help speed along me getting caught up. At this point, I am not sure catching up is even possible. hahaha But, I am committed to getting somewhat back on track.
The offer to help out in the community is still open for those who would like to consider the opportunity. I appreciate your patience, kind support, and appreciation for the beautiful community we have here on Hive. You will probably read me say it many times in the comments... but Keep up the great work!
