Well, I did it!! Today marks the end of my first year on 365. First of all I want to thank Pat Janik for inviting me to become a member last March. Without her I would not be here. Secondly, I owe tremendous gratitude to my faithful followers and friends here on 365 for your support and encouragement throughout the year. I love you all more than you know ... you are an awesome group. I will be taking a few weeks off to learn more about the features on my new camera and also study an online course in advanced photography. I still have a lot to learn! I will pop in now and then to view your fabulous photos, but for the most part I need some extra time to do Spring yard projects and get caught up on some of my ancestry work. Love, hugs and many thanks to each and every one .... and, I'll be baaaack ;-)
@herussell Thanks, Hope. The center photo is one of my favorites taken last April http://365project.org/cimes1/365/2011-04-03 entitled Embraced by the Light. Actually this photo inspired me most of all to move on and get-r done ;-)
Congratulations on completing your project Carole, and what a fantastic end! A fav for me!
I wish you the best of luck on your course, I hope it goes well. I hope you enjoy your new camera too! I look forward to seeing you back here soon!
Good luck, and best wishes xx
Congradulation Carole hope that you will continue, the best way I am finding to learn about photography and my camra is to continue taking photoes and trying different things

Congratulations on your 365th picture! Boy will I miss your faithful and encouraging comments, not to mention all the sunny pictures from lovely Fla. to warm me up. You've truly been a blessing to me Carole. Some days have been tough, but you've always left a warm comment or faved a shot and cheered me right up! I hope you enjoy your time off and have fun learning about your new camera as well as accomplishing all the other tasks you've set out to do. You've got a great summary of your year here- I remember that beautiful church!! We'll miss you, but look forward to seeing you here again some time in the future! God bless!!

@mommyof1 It's another Easy Share--- Z990 max with a 30x wide angle lens, 12 mp. I had the older version before, didn't want to switch to any others because I'm used to the Easy Shares after all these years. I'll check in once in a while. Take care and have fun! Hugs.

I just happen to click on one of your pictures and by browsing I came across this beautiful collage. congratulation for completing your first year. I'll be stopping in again tomorrow when I have a bit more time to have a look at your calendar. till then.
Just saw this on a discussion thread, Carole. Fabulous way to end your first year; love all the individual shots and you've put them together brilliantly.
Congratulations Chicky!!!!! You did it! What a Tramendous Accomplishment! And i just LOVE your ending photo!! :) FAV!!! You better come back!! i will miss you to much! :)
@ellimae@girlie LOL!! Well, thanks to you both for your sweet comments, but this photo was taken at the end of Year One completed March 12, 2012. I am currently near the end of Year Two, which will end April 1, 2013 in 36 more days. I will take a break at that time, but most likely will be back. Right now I'm starting to put together videos and digital albums for both years---very time consuming!! Thanks again for following!
@cimes1 Yes, I did realise this was done last year but when I saw it on the discussion thread I admired it so much I thought I'd like to let you know, even though it was almost a year ago. I love all the shots in this lovely collage and it made me wish I'd been following you for longer than I have.
@girlie Awww, Robin--- that's so sweet of you. I need to find the discussion thread.....hmmmm. I've been reading about your flood and also read your profile. You live in such a pretty area. So happy you are safe and there was no damage to the inside. I love all your photos, too and like you no DSLR for me :-)
