This is my last pic for my 365 project. Time has flown by! There were a few close calls, but I took a pic everyday and posted the same day.
This project has been life changing for me. Since I left teaching in 2006, I've been a little lost. This wonderful community has given my life a purpose again!
I've met so many awesome people and learned so many new things. I look at everything around me in a different light!
Photography has become a big part of my life. I love taking pics and looking at all the beautiful pics of my 365 friends. I feel like I take a little trip around the world everyday. :0)
I want to thank each and everyone of you for making my journey a fantastic one! I want to give a special thank you to Donna@lilbumblebee and Rebecca Briggs@bec01. They've both been with me from the beginning! :0)
I will be starting a second year tomorrow! I'm really looking forward to the new year!. If you have time, please look at my fun cat pic I will be posting in my other album. http://365project.org/cjwhite/my-little-world/12-31-2011
Congratulations for making it Carolyn. A great picture to end your year with. I'm guessing you were a Science teacher, with all your knowledge of bugs and butterflies? Happy New Year!
Congratulations on the completion of your project! Must feel great seeing the words '100% complete' on your profile. Looking forward to your second year. Happy New Year!
Had to fave this Carolyn, both for the photo (which is stunning) and for the lovely way you have summed up this 365 community. I particularly love the bit about the daily trip around the world. That is exactly how I fee too. I would miss you if you left - so I'm very glad you're continuing on. Happy New year to you and your family.
A fitting way to end the year, Carolyn. Beautiful photo with the bird looking upward. Great color and texture . . one of your trademarks. Looking forward to seeing more of your photos!
@bkbinthecity Thank you Brian! I was very lucky! It landed about three feet from me. It did it twice today. The first time I was too shocked to get a shot! LOL!
Another wonderful capture with awesome colour and texture. Congrats on 365 and have fun in the coming year. I am sure many of your photos will be on the pop often. Your photos rock!! Happy New Year to you Carolyn!
Yay... Huge Congratulations Carolyn... I have loved ALL your work you have been such a pleasure to follow and i truely look forward to your pictures everyday. so glad you are staying..
thank you for all your wonderful pictures, carolyn. i'm so excited about spring and summer when you're posting butterflies again :) happy new year for you and all your loved ones!
Beautiful shot and great DOF!! Congratulations! You should be very proud of yourself! 365 gives to us and people like you - give so much back. Your words say it all for many of us! I am so happy that you are staying around - I would miss you!
fav .... awesome shot to end the year and the project, at least the first year of the project! so glad you are continuing! i love the variety, the details, the info, the clarity that comes with all your shots. thanks for being here. wishing you all the best in the new year.
How lovely, Carolyn. I must say I feel the same. I retired from teaching 11 years ago and enjoyed taking pics but had no real purpose until I discovered 365. I am also near the end of my year but will continue, as the friends I now have are part of my new life. Congratulations on tremendous success with your project. I look forward to your next year!
A beautiful bird. Your first sentence made my heart plummet, I'm so happy that you are continuing for a second year.
Happy New Year Carolyn, may 2012 be kind to you and your loved ones x

Congratulations, Carolyn! I am so happy for you completing your first year. It's a big accomplishment especially since you shot and posted EVERY day! That is wonderful. I have just checked out your recent shots since I've been out of commission and you have taken some gorgeous shots! I am loving your bird shots! Well-everything! Thanks for all of your lovely comments on my project. I really appreciate them and am so glad you are continuing! :o)
So sorry I missed your final shot. This is a beauty with which to finish up your first year. I'm looking forward to checking out your bird shots from time-to-time. The ones I've looked at so far are gorgeous.
I have just started on 365, been loving all the feathered friends you put up. And ths one is so symbolic of the last pic of 365...as she is looking back....she is content....happy! Reflecting....your feelings, i guess!
Congratulations. I thoroughly enjoyed your posts and hope you will continue. I am into year 3, although I no longer post every day. This is a beautiful capture. Nicely composed and great light.
