Cross-Country Connections: Together

Brianne Bilyeu

I decided that I missed doing Cross-Country Connections with my mom and sister, and I’ve managed to convince them to have another go at it!

Cross-Country Connections is a Biodork weekly blog entry dedicated to telling stories in pictures of three family members – me, my sister and Mom – living in very different locations across the country. Every week we choose a different theme and then take or contribute a personal photo that fits the theme. This week’s theme is Together.

From me in Minneapolis, Minnesota: 

From Erin in Bellingham, Washington:

This stretches the theme of “together” in a visual sense but I’m using this photograph as a representation of the togetherness of my husband and me.  I’m the one who drags us all over the countryside looking for new and wonderful sights, but it’s due to my husband’s skill and patience that we get any reminders of the escapades.  One summer day, out hunting for fossils, I stopped at every single instance of this wild orchid but could never get a decent photograph of it.  It’s due to Ralph’s understanding (of the camera) and patience to actual take off the “auto” setting that we have this beautiful picture.

From Mom in Carbondale, Illinois:

Together means all four of us and it always will.

    Woah! I’m really enjoying the template/theme of this site. It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s very hard to get that “perfect balance” between usability and appearance. I must say you have done a fantastic job with this. In addition, the blog loads very fast for me on Opera. Excellent Blog!

    Hi there would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re using? I’m looking to start my own blog soon but I’m having a tough time deciding between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something completely unique. P.S Sorry for getting off-topic but I had to ask!

I’m not sure if this is a format issue or something to do with web browser compatibility but I figured I’d post to let you know. The design and style look great though!

    Today, while I was at work, my cousin stole my iphone and tested to see if it can survive a forty foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My apple ipad is now destroyed and she has 83 views. I know this is completely off topic but I had to share it with someone!

    Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied on the video to make your point. You clearly know what youre talking about, why throw away your intelligence on just posting videos to your blog when you could be giving us something informative to read?

    With every thing which seems to be building within this particular subject matter, your points of view are generally relatively refreshing. Nonetheless, I am sorry, but I can not subscribe to your whole plan, all be it stimulating none the less. It appears to me that your commentary are not entirely validated and in actuality you are your self not even entirely confident of the point. In any case I did appreciate looking at it.

    I was curious if you ever considered changing the page layout of your website? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or two pictures. Maybe you could space it out better?
