TheRagens Newsletter
Wildlife photography, wine tasting, and great books

This is an occasional newsletter that we are writing in order that people who visit our website may want to get some updates by email rather than bookmarking this site to return. We'll generally publish information that is related to the contents of our website. This newsletter will be published infrequently -- the schedule will depend on when we have published enough new content on our website to be interesting AND when we have time to work on it. At this time, I'm expecting that we'll try to make it bi-monthly and see if we can keep this going.
