today marks two years since the creation of the sky is big in pasadena (an odd choice of first photo, don't you think?). this blog continues to be bigger than i ever imagined. while it may not have the largest following ever, each month brings new visitors and connects me with new people. i've been amazed that i ended up sticking with this idea for this long - what began as a side project during my first quarter at fuller seminary has changed into something i hope to stick with as long as we live in pasadena. as i said after year one, there continue to be some pictures that i'm really proud of, and some... not so much.
thank you all for your support!

Congratulations on 2 years! Fun to look at stats like that, isn't it!
Happy second blogeversary. I hope there are many more. Glad you are enjoying the braai smell. I hope the wind doesn't change direction.
Congratulations, Ben! Here's to many more years of your wonderful shots, great insight, cool restaurant recommendations and ever-present wit. Cheers!!!
When were you in the library at Caltech? I haven't been up there yet but now I'm inspired to take a little tour :)
Thanks for stopping by everyone.
We went to the Caltech library shortly after we got here to Pasadena. I'm not even sure if we were supposed to be up there, but we went anyway!
2 years already. Time goes bye, bye, quickly. Happy Anniversary, BW!
You're blog may not have as large a quantity of followers as some blogs, but your regular commenters are only of the very highest quality.
Now, let's play 2 more!
Congratulations, Ben! You are one high quality human. I was on the Fuller campus today and I thought of you.
I do love my regular readers. Thanks you two!
