What started as a one year project back in 2010 is now beginning year number four! I had some pretty strict rules for myself when I started the blog: each photo had to be taken the day I posted it, and I could only post one photo a day. It took me six months to completely burn out, and another six months to recover. Around that time I started connecting with other daily photo bloggers, and realized that no one was taking each photo the day it was posted. It was so hard! Some days I would get many good shots and could only post one. Other days the light was awful and I was embarrassed with everything I took. Some days I just wasn't in the mood or feeling creative. Thankfully those rules are long gone, but I do still try to only post one photo a day. At this point though, I would have to say that the best thing about the blog has been all the different daily photo bloggers I've gotten to know. I never realized I would make such great connections with people all over the US and the world. So many different personalities and interests, but all drawn together by this quirky desire to post a photo a day! I'm not sure how much longer I'll keep up the blog, but I'm not intending to stop this year. For today's photo, a close-up of what I think is a miniature Lupine variation. This was the most common flower I saw on my trip to Table Mountain on Thursday.
