This, my first photo-a-day gallery, began on December 22, 2007 because the Winter Solstice seemed as good a time as any to start...I managed to post nearly every day!

It's been a fun year, full of experimentation and photographic discovery. At times it was hard to find the inspiration, but the motivation was always there thanks to all of the members of Pbase who looked in and commented over the year.

As it is now December 21, the shortest day of the year, I am closing this gallery...There's a new, occasional gallery which I hope to post images to at least two or three times a week.

Thanks for all your comments and encouragement!
