Surround Sound and In Living Color: Hello 2018

Welcome to 2018! My new year started off quite beautifully.

6 years ago today, I began my first 365 project with a point and shoot camera. I was vaguely interested in photography, but just barely. I'm not officially done with 6 years yet as I have skipped days here and there over the years, but will be wrapping up my year the next month or so.

It's amazing, though, to look back over the past years at my journey. To see where I was in life and skill and where I have come. Still much to learn. Hope to do some good learning this year when my new Nikon arrives soon.

I've loved sharing my photography and life journey with you all and look forward to what this new year has in store for us.

May your 2018 be blessed! Cheers and looking forward to sharing it's beauty and color with you!

Hugs!

Happy New Year, Amanda. Hope it's a happy and healthy one for all your family.

[Jocasta]

ps. Excited to see photos from your new camera. I, too, have a new camera - so no excuses from me now not to keep posting in 2018.

[Simply Amanda]

@bill_fe I'm excited!! Happy New Year, Bill.

@jocasta Joy, great news! Hoping for a noticeable difference with my photos. Happy New Year!!

[Kathy A]

I started 7 years ago with a point and shoot and I’ve progressed to a phone -haha!

[Simply Amanda]

@kjarn Hahahaha!

[Simply Amanda]

@shesnapped I thought this fit the theme as it was the start of a new day/new year.

Happy New Year and Happy 365 Anniversary, Amanda. I do like 'inside looking out' shots .. this is a good one

[Simply Amanda]

@yrhenwr I love these windows and the view. Thanks!!

[Ashley]

@alophoto Agreed! Can’t believe that’s taken thru a window. Wish my windows were that clean!!!

[Ashley]

@alophoto Single digit temperatures overnight this weekend. Bubbles freeze in single digit temps....

[Simply Amanda]

@shesnapped Ha. I use Norwex cloths on windows. But blocked with furniture so cleaner than most.

[Mary Siegle]

Looks extra super on black!

[Ashley]

@alophoto Mine are the old windows with all the panes. 12 panes per window, probably 22 windows, half of them upstairs, old style so you have to clean the outside on a ladder. UGH!!!

[Ashley]

@alophoto I just did that math. That’s 528 panes. Now I’m REALLY depressed!!!

[Ashley]

@alophoto Oops. I forgot the doors. I’m not even going there...

[Ashley]

@alophoto storm windows .... AAAARRRGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

[Simply Amanda]

@shesnapped Too many, too many. Hire Men in Kilts to wash em;)!

[Simply Amanda]

@shesnapped P.S. Mine nearly never get washed outside unless for a photo or to clean off bird feathers or imprint.

[Ashley]

@alophoto Feathers and imprints? Awwww!!! That’s just sad!!!

PS - men in kilts? What if I look up and accidentally see what they don’t wear underneath those kilts???
