Blogaversary and Project Blue: Take Five

Sooo... I did it! I finished an entire year of taking a photo-a-day. And I only missed 4 days. Not bad hey :)

A lot has changed in my life as a result of this journey...
1. I notice a heck of a lot more going on around me than I used to.
2. Traffic is easy to handle now because I'm checking out things to take photos of.
3. I have a great record of my kids growth in the last year.
4. I won an award :) The first one I've ever won in my life!
5. I discovered that I'm actually OK with a camera, and now I want to learn more.
6. I have met the most stunning people on the web because of it.

I almost gave it up a few times, but I'm glad I stuck it out :)

As for my Project Blue photo... here's my contribution today. I should really learn and stop taking photos in the garden when it's almost dark (I got home a bit late again).
I thought it was quite interesting how the Felicia flowers droop in the evenings.

Please check out Anna's blog for more Project Blue.

So in honour of my blogaversary, please delurk and say hello! I'd love to "see" everyone who reads my blog.

Congratulations on your blog anniversary! This is my first visit, but glad I came over (thanks for your comment on my blog)...your photography is wonderful. I love that you focused in on the one particular flower there with the tiny little winged bug on it!

woo-hoo, get the champagne chilled... well done! I'm so glad you stuck with it, for all the reasons you listed, and for another that you were way too modest to list... the great pleasure you have given your visitors and blog buddies this year with your wonderful photos. So cheers, and here's to many more!
