Reflections on A to Z Blog Challenge 2014

By using the wonderful National Parks System as the subject of this year's A to Z Blog Challenge, I learned a lot writing each of 26 posts. For future reference, I discovered more parks to add to my bucket list. The five parks in Utah are especially intriguing for the photographer in me. Bryce Canyon National Park was my most popular post, and Zion was the second most popular. Both of these National Parks are in Utah.

I did not do as well as in the past with visiting blogs and making comments. Although I wanted to make new blog friends, I discovered that many of the ones below me on the participants lists were not actually involved in A to Z. Also, a number of the blogs I visited and liked did not have a link that I could find for comments. That was discouraging. However, I visited some incredible blogs I wouldn't have known about otherwise and have added some of them to my sidebar so I can see when they create a new post.

Thanks to the founders of the A to Z Blog Challenge which has gained in popularity each year. Thanks also to this year's hosts:
