Well, it’s really…Happy Anniversary to my blog! Just one year ago I started this blog (originally hosted on WordPress) with the intention of posting a photo a day (yep, did that – well, some might have posted early) and to better learn my camera (that part of it took a little longer, and I’m not done with learning yet). My photos have improved quite a bit over the course of a year, and if you are a glutton for punishment you’ll dig back in the archives and heartily agree with me.
Some of you have been with me from early on – and I appreciate you for sticking with me. Some of you joined my blogging adventure a bit later than others, but that doesn’t mean I appreciate you any less. I love all your comments and look forward to reading them all and visiting your blogs in return. Each of you are inspirations to me. Thank you all for joining me in this journey.
Anniversary Give-Away
To thank you for your continued visits and comments I’m having a give-away – an 8″ x 10″ print of either today’s image or the image of your choice (if you are brave enough to dig into the archives). All you have to do is leave a comment – easy, peasy!! Comments will be eligible until Wednesday night and I’ll announce the winner Thursday morning. Thanks again!
Just an FYI, this image (and yesterday’s, too) was NOT taken with the Lensbaby, just my regular lens.
Happy Anniversary!!!!!! Gorgeous picture!
Happy Anniversary! Congrats on one year of great photos. Hopefully the next year will be even better!

Congratulations on the anniversary.
I love today’s image and I knew for certain it wasn’t a LensBaby
I like the droplets you focused on and the great use of dof. With all that bokeh you can almost ‘feel’ the damp air. Well captured.
May you have many more inspiring and creative years of blogging.

This is simply beautiful. Looking at this almost makes me rethink that whole “hurry up Spring” thought I keep having Beautiful work.
Happy anniversary and what a splendid new home! I can’t quite remember when I hooked up with your blog,was it when we got into a discussion about helibores and floating flower head in water? who knows, but it’s been a feast for the eyes, every day.
‘Your next mission; should you choose to accept’ is to immerse the whole flower in water in a glass vase, a goldfish bowl or cylinder shape,and then after a couple of hours capture all the pretty bubbles on the flower along with the curves, distortions and reflections from the water and glass…….. LOL
from looking at this picture any one would think diamonds grew on trees.
I must not have finished reading….we’re entered in a give-away of your work??!!! Can we enter multiple times for multiple chances of winning?!!!!!!
Linda Steider’s last blog post..Turquoise and Purple
This works so well because of the DOF and how you get the figures of the ice. Very very neat.
Happy Anniversary, Happy Anniversary, Happy Anniversary, Happppppy Anniversary. Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Anniversary. Happy Happy Happy Happy Happy Anniversary.
