Day 366-And to Cap it Off...




And.....we're done? Really? How about that. There were times when it seemed like the year* was flying by, and, closer to the end, when it seemed like time was just dragging. But on the whole, it does seem like a quick year.

I had debated if I was going to do something "themed" to the last post, or just shoot whatever I wanted. This is, I suppose, a good compromise for the two sides in my head. Most of those caps were collected by The Brother, though I have added a few of my own along the way.

So now that I'm done, what can I say? I don't know if I picked up any fancy new skills or techniques along the way, but I'd like to think I improved on the approaches I've already acquired. I certainly found that the ordinary--the stuff we see everyday--has a lot to offer, if we just take a moment to look at it. The theme weeks were fun, and a nice way to stretch myself a bit.

So what's next? Well, I'm taking a month off. It'll be weird tomorrow, not having to take a picture. But I'm going to pick up some new gear in the next few weeks, and start a new project in April. I think you'll enjoy it. As soon as it's going, there will, of course, be a website for it. I just bought some new software, so I plan on updating my actual website. And, this isn't the last huzzah for this project, so there's always Phase II.

Lastly, thanks to everyone who stopped by, left comments, or gave me your thoughts otherwise. I hope it was as interesting for you as it was for me. This site will remain up, so feel free to pop in and look around.

That's all I got.

*it was, of course, a leap year last year, so I opted to include the extra day.

Day 365--Attack!




Why do cats enjoy string so much? Even George gets himself all in a tizzy over a piece of string in front of him. Must be a cat thing.

Day 361--Please Sir, Can I Have Some More?




Remember the plant I showed you back in December? Hmm? Well, you might recall I forgot the name at the time. Well, it's a cyclamen. And his name is Oliver. He's doing quite well, thank you.

He does so much authoring we use all three of his names.
