31 December 2006 - end of the road for my PAD...

I SO wanted today's PAD to be a special one, but I knew it would
be difficult with a house full of relatives and so much to do.
And the only shot I did take still had my WB set wrongly!! doh!

Managed to grab this shot through the car window on our way to a
very windy & cold local walk.

SO that's the end of the PAD year for me then! I cannot thank all
my PAD friends enough for their encouragement and support (and thanks
for commenting on even the most rubbish shots!!) I've hugely enjoyed
this year, and made some firm and fabulous friends along the way. Pbase is
a fantastic community - my thanks go to Slug & Emily for keeping it going!

And all that remains is for me to wish everyone a VERY Happy New Year and to
tentatively say that I will be continuing with my PAD... on a more "relaxed" basis maybe?
or maybe it will be a true PAD! (maybe I can join the PESO Club please?!)

HAPPY NEW YEAR :O)

Some folks mess with the WB on purpose for creative effect. This is marvelous. GMV

Congratulations on ‘crossing the line’ – feels great doesn’t it? Bet at times you didn’t think it would happen! Now you’ve got to keep going! - but I s’pose we’d understand if you only make it when time allows :o) PESO application form is in the post - I'll put a good word in with the committee!

Guest		31-Dec-2006 15:49
Congratulations and well done!! You've got some really wonderful work. Happy new year!

Neil Horner		31-Dec-2006 15:43
oh, and please keep pad up next year , its hard work and I have missed a few towards the back end of this year. I was maybe doing photo a week and just putting all my shots on at once at the end of the week ?

Neil Horner		31-Dec-2006 15:40
