the last shot....

... of my year 7 on 365 Project!

When I started this incredible journey, I had no idea that it would endure so long, or of all that it would bring: friends from all over, some of whom I have met; endless photo opportunities; the chance to share and gain expertise; reasons for putting off the ironing for yet another day.....

So Monday 10th December will be the start of my year 8.

I do sometimes say that I will stop posting every day but somehow I never manage to do it.

Until tomorrow............

(I hope you like the discreet introduction of purple today!)

I am in awe of your commitment. This community of photographers/artists is the BEST! I love this image, how did you do the edges?

[Hazel]

@joysabin

It's a free editing prog called FastStone, just a requirement for an optional one-off donation when you download it.(I gave £5) Apart from Picasa 3, it is my only editing prog and fits all my needs The 'edges' are under the 'effects' > 'frame-mask' section.

[Pyrrhula]

A beautiful swirl , capture and processing. Fav.

[Walks @ 7]
