And now the end is near...

My 365 days project on Flickr is drawing to a close. Only two weeks left to go. But, they say that when one door closes another one opens. But what will I do next? I'm not sure. I might focus on The Pact and try to make taking photos of ordinary things more interesting. I don't know. Anyway, here are some images from the last 351 days:

Long Time No See...

Oh my goodness.

Shall we just forget about the last three months and start fresh?

We're in the middle of some wet weather. Floods are threatening areas of the country (specifically in Gloucestershire) that have already been flooded twice in the last 8 or 9 months. Our front door has expanded so much due to all the moisture that we almost can't open/close it. We had a stream/river flowing down a road near our house a few days ago. Here is a photo of the remnants:

The kids are two years and four months old now and seem to be coming along very nicely. They are talking a lot, making some sense, and learning new words every day. Maddie is still fearless, energetic and naughty. Morgan is still affectionate, funny and sensitive.

I'm into the last month of my 365 Days project. It has been fun and challenging trying to take a self-portrait photograph everyday, but just this last month or so I've found it really tough. Still, I've got this far and the end is in sight. It does mean that I carry my camera with me all of the time, which allows me to take photos when I otherwise wouldn't have been able to. I've also started experimenting a bit with stitched panoramic images, where you take a series of sequential shots of one view and then stitch them together later to create a "panorama". Here is one such shot, while not what is traditionally thought of as a panorama, it is two images stitched together.
