Great start

What a great Christmas and New Year I have had, and it mostly went to plan! First off happy New Year to everyone, hope this year brings you all you need and want. For me it’s gotten off to a great start as I spent it in the company of great friends and in a very pretty part of the world, hence the very short posts over the last few day. A big thank you to all the people involved Caz, Kep and I had a really great time and would not have missed it for the world. Now comes the hard part of cleaning the house, taking down the tree and getting ready for work, still only 6 weeks to my birthday and the end of my commitment to the blog, not that I will close it down but I will change the fact of having to post every day, the pressure of doing that has been immense over the past year. I am looking at a new project that will involve my other blog, but more on that later. Have you made any resolution for the New Year? I have not as I think that they are too easily broken, I aim to complete a set of goals during the year and am working on the list over the next few days.
Photo is from our short break this week, taken on a cold gray day, but great for moody shots.

I agree about resolutions, I never make them, though I have a lot in mind to achieve this year.

Glad you had a good holiday.

Only another 6 weeks! Oh no!!

My resolution for the new year is to learn to say 'Pardon?" instead of the very tacky and undignified "What?!"

HI BRETT

You've only met me once and probably won't remember me. But I just wanted to say that I view your brilliant photos and blog on a regular basis and I really really love your photography. Keep it up.

Happy New Year.

Happy New Year Brett...

First day back at work today. How awful is that?

No resolutions here - I'm not good at sticking to them and, besides, how do you improve on perfection? ha ha

Blog Action Day - Climate change, virgin birth, flat earth.

Climate change, I have to admit that I’m very skeptical about the existence of climate change and the whole global warming thing. My basis for this is that we (humans) have only been here for such a short time and for a large period of that were not really in a position to judge what was happening around us. An even smaller period of time is the length of time we have been able to accurately measure things like temperature or the size of the ice caps, so to be able to say that things are changing outside of the norm, when we really have no idea what the norm is, is like seeing a snow flake and predicting the start of an ice age. Now I known that lots of very important people seem to have been convinced that there is a problem but remember past world leaders and experts also had some strange ideas (flat earth, virgin birth, communist ruling the plant, woman’s heads over heating if they learn too much). Are they right or are they wrong, I really do not know, I personally think that we do

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

Blog of note!

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
