Not being one to wish my life away but I enjoy all times of the year and as each new season stats everything changes, I wouldnt like to live somewhere where it never changed much from season to season it would become very tedious, p.s. where else in the world would you get all fours seasons in one day...
Day 245 starts this month from Croatia,
This project has been very enjoyable at times!! I feel as though it's a challenge to come up something new each day some days easier than others. If anyone else is reading this that has done a 365/366 project will vouch for me. Thank you all for all the comments and likes that you all have contributed on Facebook and Instagram it does really keep me going.
I am seriously thinking of doing a book of the year with all photos dependant on if I can achieve enough interest.
This will have more insight into the photos why I took them what it reminds me of also the technical detail of what can be achieved with this brilliant little camera, that has been by my side everyday this year.
Keep Liking and commenting see you in October.
