My Farewell.... by marytj

My Farewell....

365 / 365
Thank you to all of you who supported me and inspired me and left me in awe of all your talent and amazing photos. I can not believe how emotional it is to come to the end of my year with 365. This project is the best of the best! Hugs and love to all of you!

Not sure what the following months will bring, but I know I am going to practice getting off of auto, using my tripod, and trying out my macro lens. Ahh....lots to look forward to.

Comments
first, congratulations in completing a whole year! And secondly, do I understand you correctly if you say you're leaving this site? That would be really sad. I hope you'll continue to share your journey with us. It's been great following you and reading your comments.

Personally, I want to thank you for your kindness and your support. I hope that you will join me in the struggle and the FUN of learning how get off of manual, using our tripods and taking control of our cameras.
