Well here I am full-circle 365 - can't believe a disorganised, daydreamer like me has made it to the end!!! Have just loved this crazy, wonderful project for so many reasons: the fantastic community, the inspiring photos and the challenge! Oh... and a copper-bottomed excuse to do something I love every day! Thank you to everyone who has been so generous with their time and lovely comments along the way! Special thanks to @jo13 who has kept me going since day one and can't forget my photo buddy @lucypics!!! : )) Too many lovely people to mention and I always end up missing someone out!!! Happy New Year to you all and big Congrats to everyone hitting 365 today! Cheers! : ))
Congratulations Lisa for finishing the year, so pleased you ended with a zebra shot, sort of your trademark. Thank you for the mention, so lovely to have met you (although we had probably met when we were 16 and not known it!). Hope you will continue, you are an inspiration Lisa x

Happy New Year! Congratulations on completing your project, I still have months to go! I have so enjoyed your shots and following you and I certainly hope that you will continue even if it is on a reduced capacity. You are a truly talented photographer and an inspiration!
Happy New Year, Lisa and congratulations on completing your project, was a pleasure to follow you and see your wonderful pictures. Thanks for sharing our zoo :)
Woohoo, huge congratulations on making it across the finishing line, it was touch and go there for a while. What a journey we set out on and what a wonderful friend you have become. I do hope you continue in whatever capacity suits you best, I think I will be starting up around the 14th so I am going to sit back and enjoy some time off till then. We have just walked through the door and I have a mother of a hangover, so I'm going to go and snuggle in bed. Well done and Happy New Year my friend. P.s fav of course.
@jo13 Thank you so much Jo - so, so delighted we both made it through this whole crazy year! Yippee for both of us!! You should be so proud of all you have achieved this year - so many beautiful images my friend! Enjoy your break and just can't wait to see what you come up with in Year 2!! Cheers, but I shall only be raising a mug of tea to you I'm afraid I am a little vinoed out!! Hope you hangover is ok! : ))x
Many congratulations on reaching the end Lisa! I have so enjoyed following you this year and your beautiful photos have been a real inspiration. I think your name has now become synonymous with zebra stripes and I can't look at a photo of one without thinking of you! Such a great shot to complete your project. I'm really looking forward to seeing what you come up with in year two. Happy New Year.
Stunning shot - but then we expect nothing else from you! Congrats on your 365 and look forward to seeing your work, and possibly even you yourself in 2014. fav
What can I say but congratulations to one of my favorite photographers on the planet. You inspire, you make me laugh, and you're just all-around awesome. Hope I meet you and @jo13 in person some day. :) Cheers. I'm taking a break but will be back. Daryl :)
Congratulations Lisa!! I can't tell you enough how much I love your photos. You are immensely talented and inspiring. This is a great final image in your album. Happy New Year! Wishing you all the best for 2014!
Beautiful and fitting image to end 365! Many congratulations and thanks for so much support throughout this year. I really hope you stay on! Big fav x :)
You are one of my all time fav's Lisa. Congratulations on your finish. You've had an incredible year, and you're truly an inspiration. Glad you'll be staying on. Fav for a great capture. Love these shots, but my all time fav by you is this one: http://365project.org/rennes/365/2013-04-03
Congratulations! I'm sorry I missed you on here. I'll be looking back through your project for inspiration! Love the lines and composition of this shot. X
@roseolivia I so WISH I owned a zoo Rachel! LOL - it is just down the road from me, so a very close second best!!! As a young child I used to lay in bed on a summer's night and be able to hear the roar of lions in the distance - I think that is where my life-long love of wildlife and nature began!! : )
Sorry I'm so late in congratulating you Lisa (i'm all over the place with this project at the moment) but my congrats are no less heartfelt. It has been a joy following you, as you know I am a big fan of your work. Hey, you made it on time too! Very, very well done. Can't wait to see more of your wonderful shots when you are ready. Thanks too for all your support on my project, I always enjoy your comments. All the best for 2014! x

@happysnap Thank you for your lovely words about my project and your congrats Linda - very kind of you! : )) I would like to thank you for all your support too - I so very nearly didn't make it across the line on time - those gaps nearly got the better of me - so glad you were there cheering me on! Enjoy next year - a really wonderful project in prospect with your follow snappers! Good luck, happy snapping! : ) x
@wind_of_the_sothern_sea Thank you so much for all your lovely comments and favs on my project throughout the whole year Arefin - you are always so generous with your time and words - really don't know how you keep up with everyone!!! Thank you!!! : ) You are also in sight of the finish line with your own incredible project - your images are such a delight, so, so creative! Good luck with it and I will be catching up with everyones' projects after I have had a break! : )))
YAY!!! Congratulations!!!!! I love your project, love your final pic, you have created great shots!!! I was nice to follow you, although I wasn't a great follower for the past few month. I hope you'll stay around and congrats again!!! You can celebrate now :-)
Nooo! You've stopped. I was away in the NY and am slowly realising that people are missing :0( fab achievement though and maybe if you come over to see @lucypics I'll gatecrash. Big kiss to Rennes.
Congratulations Lisa, you have produced some amazing photos over the year and it has been great to follow you.
Unfortunately I too should have finished on this day but alas I went astray and awol for a bit so my journey continues for a few more weeks. Are you going to carry on at all?
@judithg Thank you Judith - hope you had a great Christmas and New Year! Just taking a bit of a break to regroup - sort out my computer and my poor camera! Would be lovely to see you over at lucypics sometime in 2014! : )) Big kiss to Monty too - bet he is relieved those antlers have been put away for another year ; )
@joemuli Thank you Joey - all good here thank you - me and my poor battered camera are just taking a break! : )) Great to see you back with a double TT too! : ))
@deeganp Thank you so much Pea - that's very kind! Hope you are ok.
I am taking a bit of a break from posting at the moment - so much to catch-up with back in the real world!!! : ))
@happysnap All good here Linda, thank you! : ) My camera is fixed and back from camera hospital - yippee, but I have got a few really busy weeks coming up so I am going to continue my break for a while yet! I'm still popping in to comment every now and then though! Happy weekend - you have got your Se7en project off to an incredible start!!! : ) x
Sorry,i didn't have the chance to browse ur Fascinating album before...now,i finally did(not done yet,'tho)--Great collections u got there, enjoyed viewing 'em:).
@rennes Great to hear your camera is fully recovered! Enjoy the break - even though we are missing your shots it is lovely to see that you are still dropping in. Thanks for the support re se7en - it is a joy to be a 'once a weeker'. Lx
@darylo Hi Daryl - how lovely to hear from you! All good this end thank you. Hope you are well and enjoying your second year of 365! I'm still very busy working through a year's-worth of things I need to catch up with LOL! Still snapping away though, when I have the time - really don't know how I did this every day for a year!!!!! : )) x
@happysnap Thank you Linda - lovely to hear from you too! Really enjoying following the se7en project. Hope you are enjoying it too! You never know - one day I might surprise you with a new shot!!! ; )) x
Aha! I knew I hadn't seen your name recently and I also know that I missed your last shot. Well done on completing the year and with such a fine shot too. P x
@rennes Yeah, really enjoying being a once a weeker Lisa. Absolutely no idea how I did it every day for a year. I sometimes find myself panicking on Sunday as I haven't got my shot for the Monday and yet I've had a week to get my act together and think about it. Glad to hear life is good your end.
Thanks sonmuch for your lovely comment today. I miss your work on here and I couldn't find your feather highway with the teeny car last I looked. Funny how a shot sticks with you. Hope you are well!
@darylo@darylo Hi Daryl - all good this end, just no time for 365 this year - can't believe how quickly the months are whizzing by!! : )) Thank you for your lovely comment. Talking about shots that stick our minds - your apple shot was definitely one of those - not just for being a fab shot, but I also love the story behind it too. I can still picture you in your darkened bathroom - balancing apples on the toilet seat! Happy snapping! : ) x
The fav you shared on my Mantis Mug Shot (thank you very much) has brought your wonderful photo collection to my attention. What amazing picture you captured in your year of 365. Congrats on completing that. I rather wish time would've allowed you to continue with a second year — I would've enjoyed viewing your daily contributions.
@pflaume Thank you Lisa - all good this end thank you! Hope all is good with you too! I have no time to upload images this year - but still love to look at what everyone else is up too!! Happy snapping! : ))
@lyndemc Thank you for you lovely words on my project Denise - very kind of you! I had a wondeful time completing the year! : )) Your Mantis shot was fab and I enjoyed looking at your project too - you have some lovely birds - they must be a lot of fun! I have no time to upload images this year - but still love looking at what everyone else is posting! Happy snapping and good luck with the rest of your project! : ))
@amandal Hi Amanda, sorry for the delay in replying - not on here much! Lovely to hear from you and love that you are still posting on your project - you go girl! : ) I just have not had time this year - though pop in to take a peek now and then! I Can't believe that it was this time last year that my poor broken camera and I were crawling towards the 365 finish line - how time flies! : ))) Wishing you a very happy holidays - Happy Christmas! : ) x
@eyesmile Hi Gena lovely to hear from you - Happy New Year. Enjoying popping in, but not enough time to jump back onto the crazy, wonderful 365 merry-Go-Round! : )
@kellycsva Hi Kelly, thank you for your comment. Best of luck with your project this year. I hope you have as much fun as I did completing your 365 - this is a great community! When the going gets tough - smile and keep on snapping! : ))
@pammerritt Thank you Pam for your lovely words, on my last image and work - very kind! : ) I still love looking at everyones' images, even though, no time to properly commit to my own project! Happy snapping in 2015! : )
@shepherdmanswife Thank you Chantal - that's very kind! : )) I really have no time for a photo a day! I do love following your project though! : )) Happy snapping!
@jocasta Hi Jocasta - lovely to hear from you. Hope you are well and still enjoying your project. I have not time to commit to 365 at the moment - but I still love popping by to view everyone else's wonderful images. Happy Easter, happy snapping! : ))
@thistle@lyndemc@joemuli
Sorry for the satellite delay in replying! Thank you so much for popping by to say hello and for your kind words. All good this end thank you - still enjoying looking at all your wonderful images too! Happy snapping! : )))
@thistle@psychographer
Thank you both for popping by! : )) I have no time to do a proper 365 project - but I am still enjoying looking at everyone's wonderful images - happy snapping! : ))
Fantastic photo. When I was (much) younger I did a drawing of a zebra, like this, on "scratch paper"...black paper and you scratch off the black to get white.
@bethshepherd Thank you for all your lovely comments on my photos Beth - I used to love doing those pictures too - we used to scrap black of multi-coloured background to do firework pictures!! : ))
Congratulations on making it through year #1! You've finished with an awesome shot. Of course, after I typed this I checked the date- well I'd say better late than never, but 3 years is a bit of a gap! I hope your recent comment on my project means you're considering another 365 project and hopefully that's true, because this is a great shot and your other pictures look to be just as excellent.
@jerome Thank you very much Jerome! I was long gone by the time you were doing your own 365 Project - congratulations to you, your images are wonderful! : )
@darylo Hi Daryl, lovely to hear from you! Great to see you are still going strong on your project! I still pop in from time to time to look at all the wonderful images... no time to take patt at the mo! Hope you are well! : )) xxx
well done :-)
!
Hope there is going to be a year two! :)

Brilliant.
Many apologies for the mass reply, but just wanted to say a huge THANK YOU! I have been totally overwhelmed, touched and delighted by your lovely messages on the completion of my project - this has been such a great community to be a part of and it has been such a fantastic year! I am taking a bit of a break from posting images, I have run my camera into the ground (it badly needs some TLC) and my poor computer is groaning under the weight of my totally disorganised approach to editing (save everything and sort it out later... but I never get round to later!!!) Thank you again and Happy New Year to you all - happy snapping! : ))
Unfortunately I too should have finished on this day but alas I went astray and awol for a bit so my journey continues for a few more weeks. Are you going to carry on at all?
