that time of the year

It's definitely the time of the year to have a red poinsettia in a pot indoors.

It's also the time for me to start my year 6 on 365 so this is my first post of that year.

It's possible to sum up my 5 years on 365 in one word: amazing!

And thank you everybody for making it so!

Hey congratulations! It's been fun following you Hazel and getting to know you a little. Lovely plant to bring Christmas cheer. Here's to the next year. :-)

Wonderful photo - my poinsettia always seems to die well before Christmas!

Helen, I hardly like to say that I had one which lasted until November....

So beautiful. Congratulations. I have clocked up almost four years, but you are amazing. Long may you continue.

Such a fitting image for the season and may I say how many of your images have brought me joy during the 3 years I have been tapping in to 365.
