And they lived happily ever after......The End! by clarek

And they lived happily ever after......The End!

photo 365
Finally I hit the end of my year of 365. It has been a fabulous experience, and I have been inspired by so many on this site, many I feel I now know so well.

Having been on the road travelling around Australia since early January I have really struggled to keep this up, but have loved the friendly banter and support so much it has kept me going. It has been so wonderful to be able to disappear for a few days, re-emerge and find so many people here to keep me going. I feared I would be forgotten:-(

This year has been predominantly about capturing precious moments in my children's lives. They have seldom cooperated, but this has meant I have had to capture the natural scenes where I can, and I am thankful to now have some photos of them to show them in the future.

I had thought about planning a photo for my 365th day but decided no, as per my usual, lets see what falls out in the wash, so this is it. Another fishing expedition at dusk. Nick, Em and Lachie have been my inspiration for the year and have made my project so personal and yet a real challenge.

I will be back after a little break, though not sure I will take on a full year of posting again. Maybe I will if I can finally invest in a macro lens. Can't wait to continue following you without the everyday stress of what to post:-)

Thanks again for your fabulous support over the 12 months, and see you back online again soon!
