365 - Sweet Sorrow by denisedaly

365 - Sweet Sorrow

365...It comes with such sweet sorrow. I have reached the milestone that so many strive to achieve. When I look back over my photos, I can't believe the year is already over.

Once again, you have overwhelmed me with your support and encouragement. Based on your feedback, I have made the decision to continue on with the 365project. However, this year, I will start by posting some of the many photos that were taken during the last year. I have so many nice shots that were taken during the summer, and everyone seems to enjoy their "daily shot of color". So I'll be taking it more easy, looking through some older shots and posting whatever I feel like doing that day.

My daily hunt for photos will start again in the Spring. Thanks again to all of my dedicated followers. You have been an uplifting source of daily encouragement.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all! Denise
Congratulations Denise on reaching your goal! You have chosen a wonderful photo to finish the year with! I look forward to seeing the many other photos you have taken throughout your 365project journey. Merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas, Denise, to you and your family. AND CONGRATULATIONS on the completion of your first year project. At times it can seem daunting but you stuck with it and have a fabulous portfolio of photographs to show for it. I still think you should really consider stock photography. People would pay for your pictures.
December 23rd, 2011  
Congratulations, Denise on completing your 365! I'm glad you will continue--looking forward to seeing some summer flowers during the gray days of January. This photo is perfect, everything we've come to love in your work--great detail, color, composition. Merry Christmas!

So what happened was this, Denise...I was walking through the park today and I saw a woman who was emitting a strange glow. She introduced herself as Mother Nature and then I noticed the tears on her cheeks. 'What's wrong?' I asked. 'It's Denise,' she said. 'She's not posting any more of my flowers. It's over.' 'No! No!' I cried. 'She's finished her project - but she's coming back!' The tears stopped, Mother Nature smiled and then she was gone. So congratulations on finishing one grand year, Denise, and thank you for vowing to return. I'll enjoy your earlier pictures all over again and look forward to the new batch (along with Mother Nature). In the meantime, have a great Christmas break.
December 23rd, 2011  
@richardshears The consummate story teller....thank you for your wonderful story and kind words Richard. I could just picture Mother Nature's tears and her fading away. Looking forward to more photography in 2012.
