Welcome, one and all

I’m always fascinated so see where my visitors come from when they visit the blog, not just where they live but also which site they came from, or what search term they used. Now “Blog of note” still produces a number of visits every day from all over the world, as does the word “Dogging” for some reason, lots of people arrive from sits that list me in their blog role and I’m sure they then go on to sites I list. Then you get the odd visitors that turn up from the strangest places, like the “Second Life enclave of Winterfell” where someone has posted a link to the site so that people can see a particular photo, or even from my Facebook page. Regardless of where you come from or how you got here you are very welcome, I hope you like what I do, it’s a time consuming task but I think the result is worth it. Leave a comment even if it’s just to say hi, its nice to put a name to all the anonymous figures.
Photo today is of the tree I have been shooting every couple of months; sad to see the leaves have nearly all gone.

Yours is one of the first blogs I go to every day. I enjoy your photography so much and am so jealous. I don't remember how I happened upon your blog. I am very interested in photography but pretty clueless about how to make it happen. Every now and I then I take an incredible shot, but it's usually an accident.

Hello, I have been enjoying your blog since it showed up on blogs of note. As an amateur photographer (emphasis on amateur) I have been thoroughly enjoying your photography.

Beautiful, perfect tree. Even in winter with its bare branches it will be beautiful, albeit more poetic.

Nothing makes me as homesick as the trees; the leaves on the ground, the seasons reflected by the foliage. I have enjoyed your tree series.

That is such a beautiful tree Brett. And - another beautiful photo.

Thank you for taking the time to blog. You have touched my heart so many times with your photos and your words. Your gift needs to be shared no matter where or how people find you.

I found you on "Blogs of Note" and it is one of the very few that I found on there that I enjoy. I love looking at your well crafted photos.
I have always been the subject on the other end of the lens. Now I am experimenting as an amateur photographer- kids will bring that out in ya. Anyway, I find the photographer end of the lens much more difficult than the other end of the lens that I have spent many years at. :)

I like to come here every day because there is always something beautiful or inspiring to see.
The tree still looks wonerful naked!

I wrote this as part of the second days post: “365 different photos, I’m daunted and intrigued at the same time. Daunted with the task of taking the images and writing words to tie it all together and intrigued at what will be here in a year’s time. Will anybody see this? Will it make any sense?” 70,849 words, 367 photos, 3014 comments, and 43358 visitors from 164 countries later and it’s all done, I’m 42 and have the answer to those questions. Yes somebody has seen it and no it really does not make much sense, but that really does not seem to matter that much. I wanted to mark the passing of a year in my life and have ended up with a fantastic record of a year in both words and pictures. More than that it has changed my life, I have gained a confidence I never had, I can write without fear, my photography skill has improve and I realise that you can do nearly anything if you work at it. One of my dreams was that it would become a “blog of note”, I still smile at the feeling’s that hit...

You known how it is, you’ve loads to do and not much time, but with a little luck and a bit of careful planning and you can fit it all in and than someone makes you BLOG OF NOTE!!!!!! WOW, Arghhhhhhhhhh!. From around 25 readers to 3451 by the end of the day, and what a post to have on the blog, I nearly did not write it, it was very personal and maybe too private to share, but I known that there are others, like me, out there and thought that if it just helped one person it made the risk worth while, well its shared now. Now this is pressure, writing knowing that lots of people will read this, do I make a grand statement, do I get stage fright and dry up, no I’ll just babble on as I always do, it’s worked so far. First, Blog of note people, thank you, this really means a lot to me, I’ve read most of the blogs of notes since I started blogging and feel stunned to be in their company. Next, if you’re reading this blog for the first time, welcome, make your self at home, there’s ...

Have you ever put something off, that you really should have done, I have, getting assessed for dyslexia. Nearly my whole life I have had problems spelling, and have done every thing to avoid getting tested, why, because I was scared that I would not have it and be told I was just thick or lazy. Well yesterday I got tested, and the results surprised me. First I was informed that my reading ability was good to high, next I was informed that I have an IQ of over 120 (140 and over Genius or near genius 120-140 Very superior intelligence 110-120 Superior intelligence 90-110 Normal or average intelligence 80-90 Dullness 70-80 Borderline deficiency Below 70 Definite feeble-mindedness 70-80 Borderline deficiency 50-69 Moron 20-49 Imbecile below 20 Idiot.) They have changed the lower classification for a more PC wording but this is the original. Lastly I was informed that I am Dyslexic and my writing and spelling were well below what my intelligence suggested (that why it takes me forever...
