Really feel like I am starting to struggle to complete my first year at 365....life just seems to be throwing all sorts of things at me at the moment, and I'm feeling a little uninspired :( Hopefully things will turn around & I'll at least get the first year complete.
Apologies again for my lack of commenting ....will get back to it as soon as I am able. Cheers & thanks for your understanding.
Its very pretty so not a weed!?!? Please don't get stressed, photography's a hobby, just enjoy other peoples' work, and perhaps nick their ideas as inspiration.!!!!!
I'd have said Iris too, or at least a type of. Stick in, you'll make it, but don't stress and don't worry about commenting. We all have periods when it's difficult to find the time to do everything we want to! Nice shot!
What an intriguing flower. I like the different colours in it. You are only 45 images for the end - on the final stretch. If it means you have to catch up when you have the time, then that's what you do. It has been great seeing your corner of the planet throughout this year, and I have enjoyed everything that you have shared. Your landscapes and the way you process your images are so lovely, and you have such beauty all around you, including this shot today - which is right on your doorstep. Sometimes you don't need to look very far. I look forward to seeing your images on my feed! Kx.
@julzmaioro Thank you for your lovely words, much appreciated. I feel so close to the end, that I will somehow just have to push through :) I think you may be correct on the name of the flower - thank you.
@blueace@hermann@30pics4jackiesdiamond@jamibann Thank you all so much for your encouraging comments, they are very much appreciated.....I know I will somehow manage to push through to at least finish this year, as long as more things don't get thrown at me!
@wag864 Thank you so very much for your very thoughtful words...they really struck a chord with me, and are very much appreciated. With words like this, and the lovely comments from everyone, I'm feeling a tad more inspired to keep at it and make sure I somehow manage to at least finish this year off :) Lx
I felt like that a few weeks back. I think inspiration comes and goes as it please at times. At least with me it does. I'll have a patch where I know exactly what I want and then . . . nothing! I've always been that way and I do beat myself up about it. I've also found people on her to be very understanding about my quiet patches. Just keep going as best you can. You'll find your way again and then you'll forget about feeling low. This is a lovely image, beautiful detail and light. Very nicely done 😉
I would have gone with Iris as well, but whatever it is, it made a beautiful photo. As for feeling stressed, forget it. You've alreadry posted 321 photos, which means you've been thinking and practicing photography for nearly a year, which is the whole point. Don't let that number 365 bully you, just enjoy what yo are doing. I deliberately missed photos in the last month of my first year, just to tell myself this about enjoying my hobby, not a box-ticking exercise.
Beautiful, it is some kind of iris I think, but I don't know the name. I hope you will soldier on I really enjoy checking out your photos. I don't take a photo every day as I did in my first year, I just chose photos that I like regardless of when they were taken, so I am sure you can find some fillers to keep you going until inspiration returns. I find 365 a journey, not a race, so don't worry about lack of commenting etc. We all have life problems and the like.
I'd say iris too. I'm feeling exactly the same at the moment, I guess you come to expect it when you've taken over 300 photos though. You will get there, we haven't come this far not to finish now!
