Balancing Act by exposure4u

Balancing Act

At the beginning of this project, I thought, “boy, can I do this? Am I crazy to post a picture a day for 365 days?” I can honestly say, now that I am posting my final photo, it was the best choice I made!! This experience stretched me in ways that truly improved my photography over this past year. I have made friendships on this site I will cherish forever. I have learned and gained so much knowledge from each and every one of you!! When I began on day one of the project, I thought the challenge seemed daunting, but as day 365 approached, I didn’t want it to end!! It has definitely been a balancing act over the last twelve months, but one I would and will do again!
I can only say thank you a million times over to all of you for you amazing support, comments, favs, advice, and motivation!! I wish I could give a huge group hug!! I will be doing another year and hope to see each of you and follow your projects!! I also want to welcome all the new 365ers and hope you enjoy this project as much as I have over this past year! Thank you all again! I seem to be at a loss of words and can only say THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart!!
Congratulations Wendy!! A beautiful shot to finish the year! So glad you are going to stick around. I so enjoy you photos!

What a beautiful shot for your 365th. I have so enjoyed looking at all your work over the year, and as much as I liked your black and white scenes I am a very big fan of your coloured ones. I have loved to see your amazing landscapes over the year and even after spending time in Colorado it makes me want to get back there and explore it some more. I'm glad to hear you're sticking around too. Thank you so much for all your support and comments on my photos too Wendy (and sorry I'm a little slow to comment, I've got company and haven't had much time to hang out on here lately!!).
