My First Year

Woohoo.. today is my first year anniversary on flickr. I have learned so much in the past year... and I thought I would share 15 of these with you.

1) You will get a pro account even if you are sure you won't.

2) Hobby does not begin to define flickr's place in one's life.

3) Focused and unfocused are not opposites.

4) Stay away from the center!

5) Put a camera in my hands and i will walk for miles.

6) Water in any amount is eyecatching.

7) After viewing 1000s of sunrises and sunsets.. each one is still miraculous, beautiful and different.

8) I can ID so many more species of birds this year than i could last year.

9) I can ID so many more species of flowers this year than i could last year.

10) macros + weak batteries = fuzzy, mushy squares

11) It is possible to continue to click after 30 minutes in 8 degree F without gloves (because they get in the way)

12) A clean windshield is imperative.

13) Not all of my loved ones understand my addiction, but they have all been bored almost to the point of tears by it :)

14) My 3 published photos did not make explore ~ guess they weren't interesting enough.

15) FLICKR FRIENDS ARE THE BEST... thank you all for a fun-filled wonderfully enlightening year!!
