The 1000th "Photo a Day"........

 Bar Harbor, Maine

The 1000th photo, it really is more than that as sometimes I did post two or more photos a day. It is the 1000th posting. I can remember being hesitant of starting out and I do remember my purist ideas of just posting the best photo I could take. I also planned on writing very few words and just allow the photo to speak for itself.     Well, that didn't work. It has been fun. I am posting the very first blog that I created below. I think that I have done that before but it is a memory lane day.

If you were not around, which most of you were not, I was just writing for myself never expecting much in return. Instead I have made friendships all over the world. I have stolen friends from other's friends.  I thank you for you stops at my post. I am more than glad to see all that you have on your blogs too.

I have learned a lot about photography and I have met so many great different people. That is said in a good way. So today is 1000 and tomorrow I will trudge on to the 1001.

This is a picture I took a few summers ago.  The coneflowers were having a great year.  The bridge was a freeby from a high school prom.  I had helped a lot in painting a wall of scenery for the prom and they gave me the bridge for my garden.  Instead of tearing it down or just throwing it away it was easier for them to dump it in my yard.  The evergreen trees are my babies that I grew from small fry to large Minnesota pines.  The tornado that went through town, snapped them both off at the base in less than seconds.
