As the title suggests, the party is over, well at least for the time being.
After 7 years posting on 365 I am in need of a bit of a break. I have struggled to keep up the last few months because I have so many other projects on the go and I can't give my full attention to this site.
I have enjoyed my journey and your company so much over the last 7 years and hopefully I will return later in the year.
I will pop in from time to time to check out your photos and even though I will miss you all so much I really do need the time to pursue my other interests too.
Thanks so much for your company and comments over the years and I wish you a happy and prosperous 2020. Bye for now, will see you again one day.
PS This photo was taken at a beachside resort close to where I live and I think there had been a wedding there. This is the start of the clean up after the wedding.
Oh no Babs, what a pity to see you go! You will surely be missed by everyone! I have often wondered how you manage with your tight schedule and other appointments. You were on the go non stop, which always fascinated me. Therefore I can understand that you need some time out. Wishing you a a great new start and a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year. Looking forward to seeing you again some time in 2020 :-)
You will be missed Babs. I fully understand where you are coming from as life does get in the way of photography at times. Take care of yourself. Wishing you everything of the best for 2020.
I look forward to seeing you occasionally in 2020
ah well that's a shame, babs, but i quite understand. you always seem to be a very busy person, while being very active here! wishing you and yours all the very best in 2020, and looking forward to seeing you back when you can manage it :)
We will miss you, but look forward to you popping in from time to time. You are such a busy, clever lady, so enjoy all the time you spend on your projects. Happy New Year to you!
Terrific capture Babs! i totoally understand where you are coming from, as I too have made the decision to depart this coming year. It's been an amazing journey on here, and i will miss it and everyone, but at times life needs to go in other directions. Please keep in touch through here (as I will) but if you're ever down this way - my email address is pbdawood@gmail.com Thanks for the virtual friendship through 365 :)
You will be missed, Babs but it sounds like you won't be bored. Have fun with your other endeavors and come back soon. Thanks for being one of my followers and support. Happy 2020 to you and your family. Take care.
Oh Babs, I shall so miss you and your witty and classy photo projects. Please do stay in touch. You have my email. Wishing you the best of good things as always xxx
I often have trouble keeping up on this site and apart from work I do very little else, I have always been amazed at how you keep p with your hectic lifestyle. You will be missed, have a good break and I hope to see you back one day.
You will be missed by so many people Babs! I have loved following you and always appreciated your comments on my images. Enjoy all your projects and hopefully we will see you popping in soon! Happy and healthy 2020!
Ooh Babs , I shall miss you ,your wonderful photos and always a hint of humour in your comments ! Hope to see you back soon ! However a Happy and Healthy New year to both you and David ! xx
Sorry to see you leave but I understand. I have trouble doing it now that I am on the creative team for a scrapbook designer. But then I need pictures for the scrapbooking.
OMG well its been a pleasure viewing your wonderful images and receiving your lovely comments and encouragement on my efforts Babs, I will miss them both, all my best wishes to you and David for a happy and peaceful 2020:)
Oh Babs...I have so enjoyed following you & your photos.. I so like your sense of humour you will be missed by us all. Enjoy your break & your other interests & do pop in to visit & comment...Thanks for your lovely comments over the years & I wish you & David a wonderful & healthy & happy 2020.
Sorry to see you go but fully understand having 'gone' myself for the past year but congratulations on 7 years! hope to 'see' you popping in occasionally and Happy New Year.
Babs - although I havent been around these past couple of months, I have certainly enjoyed following you previous to that and will miss you and your posts. I wish you well in the coming year with all your projects. Hope we will indeed see you back before too long.
It definitely will not be the same without you here! I can relate, and support your taking this time away, but do hope you'll pop in occasionally and come back some day. I'm guessing I'll be posting and commenting in spurts next year, but do plan to continue for the foreseeable...
At first I was struck by the visual and the title -- the two stacks of chairs, the two windows, the two little top windows -- and then I read your narrative and immediately started missing you! Would you consider staying in -- from time to time? It would be lovely . . .
This year something has to give so I can catch up with my many other projects and pastimes. I just need a few more hours in a day at the moment and to achieve that I have to reduce my time on taking photos and commenting on 365. I will of course be popping in from time to time and still looking at your fabulous photos and I promise to return as soon as my life gets a bit quieter. Don't think you get rid of me quite so easily. I will be back. I have decided that 365 is quite addictive. See you all again one day.
@gilbertwood I will stay in touch Denise and I am sure you will be back again once things settle down. Like me, your life is always busy and I totally agree that you will need a break at the moment.
@casablanca Of course I will stay in touch. Don't think you get rid of me easily.
@nicolecampbell Thanks Nicole I have enjoyed your photos and comments so much. Sad to see you go at the moment too, but totally understand. Life gets in the way sometimes doesn't it. Stay safe and happy.
@koalagardens I will still be checking out your photos Katrina and also the progress of your koala friends. Hope the fires stay away from your area. I will return later in the year when I have reduced the list of my current projects. Bye for now.
well, here I am just starting back after 2019's few photos and you are off on a break. 365 can be time consuming and I know what its like trying to fit in all the other parts of ones life. I look forward to seeing you from time to time.
A great parting image Babs. You will be missed. Enjoy your break and hopefully we'll see you back in the not too distant future. Have a healthy and happy 2020 :)
An apt photo to finish (for the time being I hope) on. I shall miss you Babs, along with your inimitable sense of humour. Your photo has been the first I've seen each morning and always made me smile. Have fun with all your other projects and I will look forward to you dropping back in from time to time. Oh, and a very Happy New Year to you.
@julzmaioro@gosia@fishers@merrelyn@flowerfairyann@vignouse@s4sayer@angelar Thanks. I have so many other projects on the go at the moment that need my attention and also as you know our social life is always hectic too. I will still be checking out your photos and also popping in from time to time with photos too but for the time being I need to spend my time on other projects.
1. Two photobooks planned, one with old black and white photos of my family from way back. (those photos have to be scanned first though)
2. David and I are running a U3A photo course this year and I have to plan 16 sessions and put them in PowerPoint presentations.
3. I want to have a play with creative photography
4. I want to get back into family history which I haven't done for a while.
5. I am also writing snippets from my childhood.
I think I will be busy. I will return so I won't say goodbye. See you again soon.
@cruiser How lovely to see you have returned to 365 Chris. I will check out your photos and also return myself one day.
Happy New Year and I do hope you aren't close to any of the terrible fires we are experiencing at the moment. Stay safe.
As I thought Babs there is an outcry at your news! So many lovely comments, it must be heartwarming! You are such a good365er, sparing no time or trouble replying & encouraging us all.
It must be a weight off your shoulders to be able to catch up & think of other things.
Enjoy your break & hopefully you will be able to return one day! Please keep in touch! Xxx
I'm so sorry to see you go because I feel like I've just started to get to know you! But I certainly understand. I wish you the best with all your endeavors- they all sound very fulfilling! thanks so much for picking up my project and taking the time to share your world with me! I really enjoyed it and hopefully you won't be gone too long!!
I'll miss your beautiful photos and warm sense of humour and will take solace in the knowledge that you will stop in from time to time. As so many have said, you will be greatly missed. Thank you for all your supportive comments since I started on 365. Happy New Year Babs and all the best for 2020!
You will be much missed, Babs, but completely understand why you need a break! I hope our paths cross again in the future, in the meantime wishing you all the best with your other projects.
You will be missed Babs, but as you say you are taking a break so I for one look forward to seeing more of your fabulous photos. Enjoy your break and best wishes for 2020.
I was just wondering were you were, and I discover this! Having been here a few years myself I do understand your decision, but, as I've discovered. 365 is an itch that just needs to be scratched.
I see you "popped in" and commented on my Muscovy Duck photo today. I do so appreciate that. I really like this photo of yours. It's the kind of photo that begs a story. I hope that you are enjoying your current pursuits and look forward to seeing your photos whenever you do post.
@chejja Thanks Caroline. Yes I will return full time later in the year but I will still check out pictures and post occasionally for the time being. I am enjoying my current projects.
I have just finished my latest photobook of last years 365 photos.
Also David and I are running a photography course at our local U3A and have to organize 16 sessions for the year. I have put together the first four sessions so far in PowerPoint presentations and that will take us up to Easter.
I am also getting back into family history and trying to research my family further back than I have already done.
Another project is to scan old black and white photos of parents and grandparents etc and also myself when young too that have been tucked away in a cupboard for years. I will eventually put them all in a photobook when I have tidied them up a bit in photoshop. I think I will be busy for a while.

Thinking about Yoda.
Do.
Or do not.
There is no try.
