Outdoorsy, nature loving, mother of a 4 year old. 2025 is my 14th year of 365!
I rarely get chance to use my camera anymore so my project for now is phone snaps only but I would like to pick up my proper camera again in the not too distant future.
2012: I had thought about taking part in the 365 challenge for years but always worried that I wouldn't be able to keep it up and would struggle to find something photo worthy each day!
I decided to have a go at in in 2012 and I actually achieved it - I took a photo every day for each of the 366 days and didn't use a single filler (though that meant I uploaded plenty of bad photos!).

2013: I didn't worry too much about taking a photo every single day and allowed a few fillers, but limited this to within a week of the date they're uploaded to, and finished year 2 with 304 photos taken on the day and 61 fillers. I've learned quite a lot here and seen some fantastic photographs and places...

2014: I did 365 properly again and did not use any fillers. It's become a habit now! I'm a bit addicted and I love how this project encourages me to go out to play on days when I wouldn't bother if I didn't need a photo!

2015: I completed Year 4, without fillers, combining 365 with 30 Days Wild in June and then what became 366 Days Wild after that... at the end of 2015 I am 7 months into a Wild Year, due to complete at the end of May 2016.

2016: I finished my 365 Days Wild challenge at the end of May and then did another 30 Days Wild in June! Another no-cheating year; a daily photo has just become habit now!

2019: Another year completed without any fillers. Thinking I might as well aim for ten years worth of 365 now eh?!!

2020: I lost the video making software I used to use and having had a baby this year which threw life into turmoil, never managed to find something else. Ending the year with a small baby and lingering post natal depression, I'm ready to give up on 365 but I've given up so much of my pre-motherhood self already and I really would like to complete that 10th year in 2021!
2021: Tick! A whole decade of 365 completed! I managed to do 2 other challenges this year too - Walk 1000 Miles (1152 miles walked in total) and 1000 Hours Outside (managed 884 hours).
I really struggle for time nowadays and can't spend anywhere near as much time on 365 as I'd like to browsing and commenting but having done it for so long, do I want to give it up... year 11 beckons?!
2022 - Year 11 done. Got a temporary job this year and really struggled for time for 365 - taking the photos is fine but having the time to browse and comment here is not so easy around work, home, toddler... just life I guess! There were 6 or so days I forgot to take a photo but I made it through another year here.
2023 - Still taking a photo everyday but I'm undecided about continuing on this site... but 2025 has arrived and I'm still here, though with very little time to spend on here so I'm now rubbish and commenting!
