So this it it! My final image for this year and for my 365 project!
I end one project and jump right into the next ;-)
I started the project as a therapeutic/creative way to keep my mind of things. As the days progressed I came more and more in touch with my creative side, the 365 really became part of my daily routine. In the end it did start to take up precious time.
My mind is still not empty with ideas so I'll jump back on the bandwagon and start a 52 weeks project. This gives me a bit more time for myself and gives me more playroom for even bigger images (or not ;)
During the course of this project I was always working on my "end-speech" but somehow all the quirky words and sentences just don't come out right now.
This project has given me so much joy and pleasure, not only the growth of my skills but more importantly the people I've met here. I couldn't have done it without all of you. I'm not going to list people personally here, because there are just too many great people around and I don't wanna do anyone short. So thanks and love to all of you, I cary all your comments ,fav's and FM's to heart and I appreciate them all.
Also a big hug and thank you to my dear Eric, Pixel and Willow who have put up with my photographic madness through the year ;-)
From me to you:
Have a great, creative and healthy 2010!!!

One of my daily routine tasks every winter evening is to put rolled oats to soak in milk for the following morning's breakfast porridge.

I used to have a cholesterol problem and even had bypass surgery a few years ago. After the surgery I read about walnuts as one excellent food in the fight against cholesterol and how they help to lower the terrible artery clogging menace. I now eat walnuts as a part of my daily routine diet. My cholesterol has dropped from over 7 to just above 3.
Happy Macro Mondays
HMM
My Daily Routine, just one more page.........., an enjoyable part of the daily routine. Macro Monday's.
Well I didn't make it that far yet today. Went downstairs to get coffee and a paper, my daily routine. It was real quiet outside, all the schools and a lot of buisnesses are closed as well. I've been processing pictures from my job yesterday all morning. Had to break the monotony and do this one!
I have been wanting to try some 'splash' photography for a while now and this week's Macro Monday challenge provided the perfect opportunity as my daily routine starts with a bowl of cereals covered in ice-cold milk!
Technical: I poured milk into a 9-inch square, deep-sided dish to a depth of about 1/2 inch. I poured about a glass of milk into a small sandwich bag and suspended the bag above the dish and then poked a small hole into the sandwich bag to begin the stream of drips. My first attempt at poking a hole was a bit of a disaster as I was a tad over-zealous in the 'poking' and managed to push the pin right through the bag thereby creating a hole on both sides, which was also too large, and resulted in two streams of milk pouring onto the kitchen worktop and making quite a mess; luckily Mrs R was out for the afternoon! My second attempt was more 'delicate' and resulted in a single, smaller hole from which the milk dripped rather than poured. These drips were too fast to start with but slowed to a steady (and predictable) rate after a few moments (set up and camera / flash settings inspired by watching a YouTube video featuring Gavin Hoey - very helpful and saved me LOADS of time in wasted effort!). I had my off-camera flash positioned above the dish and bounced onto a white floor tile erected behind the milk dish to back-light and freeze the motion. The flash was set to 1/16 power. Then it was a case of trial and error with a hit-rate of about 1 in 4 keepers. This one I liked because it filled the frame and had some nice contrast and shapes.
Happy Macro Monday, everyone.
My Daily Routine starts with a cup of coffee.....you are looking thru a coffee mug handle at the brew buttons on my Hamilton Beach single-cup coffee maker.
By the way, I always choose BOLD.
Daily routine in the mornings and precisely today I had to skip it cause I fell asleep after turning the alarm off without realizing.
I don't know what I would do without mirrors in the house.
I don't know what I would do without my Flickr friends... XX
Taranis Digital Telemetry Radio System Gimbal.
My daily routine involves flying and or building/repairing radio controlled planes, gliders, helicopters, and quadcopters.
Over the past 10 years or so, It has become my daily routine and my obsession. I love my Taranis radio system as she actually talks to me, providing me with information such as battery voltage, altitude and signal strength of the aircraft.
HMM! Everyone.
I think i should change my lifestyle and my daily routines hehehehe..
Trying out new ways of processing=)

I've been having a hard time lately trying to truly enjoy myself. maybe it is the pressure that I put onto my daily routine, sticking to my values and aspirations and living life up to the extent of that I can lie in bed in the evening and feel exhausted not only of smoothing the pillows and bed-sheet but actually adding up all the thoughts in my head and making something out of that. a good friend of mine once told me that if we did all the things we do the way I smoke my cigarettes, then we'd be finding the peace we are looking for. she said that we shouldn't only smoke cigarettes in that sense. we should smoke books and movies and tea and the sundown and all those things that we lose during the day. everyday's little things. another friend of mine wrote me a letter and as he was discussing his view on infinity, he wrote "the infinite is everyday's little things", and thinking about it, nothing is more endless than finding peace with that. I don't know if I should try to enjoy myself more. it's a hard thing to stand still when you are always on the run trying to be the first.
Starbucks Coffee Company recently invited me to make a presentation about night photography for its internal photography club. It was a terrific event for which I had nearly a month to prepare. I was never nervous once until a few seconds after the presentation started. A bout of apprehensiveness struck me, which was really all in my head. Nothing unfortunate or embarrassing occurred!
Fortunately, I had a very good-natured and engaging audience. After a brief microphone sound-check took place two minutes into the discussion, and a few playful quips into the mic (i.e. Recall Joey’s popular quote from the “Friends” television series, “How You Doin’???”), I was ready to go! Laughter from the audience is always reassuring.
There was a turnout of approximately 70 individuals, and the head of the photo club told me he couldn’t remember the last time a presenter received audible applause at the conclusion of a presentation. I thought I could have done a lot better, but the overall feedback I received was -- to my delight -- extremely positive. Like most human beings, I am my own worst critic. On top of that, amidst the preparation, I was exhausted from multiple aspects of my daily routine from the previous month leading to the event. No complaints, though. Every minute and every second of this photography venture has been worth the effort.
If you would like to see the “Introduction to Night Photography” presentation (revised to target an online audience) and the concluding photo video, both are currently on my official blog. Pictures taken during the presentation are posted there as well. If anything, viewers can take humor in my nerdy voice and fashion sense. Please feel free to share the presentation and video with your friends and colleagues.

This is a view of Seattle’s SoDo (South Downtown) neighborhood, which is essentially the city’s warehouse district adjacent to Harbor Island, which serves as the Port of Seattle. Starbucks’ world headquarters is located in SoDo. I love the bright lights of the port in combination with the thick clouds engulfing the Olympic Mountains along the horizon.
Even Seattle’s warehouse district has an alluring charm!

Please take 10 minutes and check the list I linked in my story: small things WE can do to be a smaller part in destroying our wonderful planet. We are ALL part of this and we can ALL do better every single day. Pick a handful of things from the list, change some habits and be part of a change for the better.
.
I always try to make up for all the flights I take by not consuming meat, using public transportation, reducing my use of plastic, water, electricity. Still every day I discover new little things to do better and I will try to include them into my daily routines 🙏

Thank you @theanthonycastro for not only exploring paradise with me but also piles of trash.
"My daily Routine"... My daily routine certainly either starts or ends with listening to music. Whether I'm at work or commuting towards it. I love to listen to music. Lately I have been listening to Daft Punk a lot.
What is part of YOUR daily routine? :)
Happy Macro Monday!
Macro Mondays Theme: My Daily Routine
My handy, thin stylus resting on my iPhone; it is certainly an integral part of my daily routine.
That's how I felt after my return to my daily routine. Houses for sale, lives for sale, dreams for sale, everything for sale ... And we ... mere mortals, puppets in the hands of vicious venomous puppeteers... Until when ...

Desert Ridges, Morning Haze II. © Copyright 2022 G Dan Mitchell – all rights reserved.
Desert ridges disappear into distant morning haze.
While the light of the very early morning and the very late afternoon is the most obviously appealing, there are ways to photograph at almost any time of the day. Because the distances in the Death Valley landscape are often so immense, there is almost always some amount of haze in the air. Not only does it obscure distant features, but it also shifts the color balance toward blue. In all honestly, sometimes this doesn’t make for the most appealing landscape photography, especially when distant features are included. But it is also possible to make the blue haze your friend, especially where it can enhance the sense of distance and scale.
I had finished up my sunrise photography at a different location on this morning of my early 2022 visit to Death Valley. My daily routine is usually to bet up very early — well before sunrise — and head to a first location, arriving well before the good light appears. You may have noticed that I didn’t mention things like coffee. Or breakfast. I usually skip them and get right to work. Later, after finishing with that first subject of the day, it would be easy to give in to the call of breakfast, but I usually continue on to a second location that holds some promise in later light. So on this morning I headed up into the hills to find a spot with a broad, long-distance view. From here I photographed across rows of intervening ridges as the haze gradually hid the landscape details to the point that haze and light and land merged in the distance.

These are my earrings that I realize now I put on each and every day. I always wear these same ones and if you ever see a picture of me and I'm wearing earrings, it will be these very same ones. A creature of habit I should think. When I started looking at what I do on a daily routine I quickly realized that there are many things I do without even thinking about it.
Happy Macro Monday everyone.
happy thursday just sitting here doing my daily routine - coffee,cnbc,flickr, running late. Not thrilled about going to the factory this morning as my usd is tanking and its going to be very hard for me to make a living today..wish me luck!
Hope you all have a great day and lets hope that FLICKR finally gets their act together!
For the last 6 years I used to work from home. I like it a lot. When the pandemic comes, there was almost no change in my daily routines. When the pandemic ends, I am still here, doing the same, for same people. And I still like it a lot :)
Part of my daily routine is to feed Dotty our Bulldog. She is four years old and a rescue from the Bulldog Rescue and Rehoming Trust. She is an absolute angel, but goes bonkers for her treats :-)
Nothing good happens before tea.
Macro Mondays Theme: My Daily Routine
(admittedly not as macro as I'd like)
Generally Band-aid application is part of my daily routine, but sometimes the kids offer to help me out. Luckily, having little helpers is also part of my daily routine. Jane's doctoring up May's skinned knees.
I go for a walk after breakfast and about 7 years ago I started to leave sunflower seeds on some fence posts. This is now @ the 3rd generation of chickadees that I feed by hand. They follow me down the road, land on my hat and fly in my face to get my attention. They really like it when I bring peanuts. They have learned not to eat while I am there, they cache the seed and return as fast as possible for another one. This bird was not bothered by the shutter click of the camera.
This image was unintentionally captured for this week's Macro Mondays theme: "(part of) my daily routine".
No, I don't routinely photograph dragonflies every day (in fact, this is my very first). When I took this shot, I was walking around with camera and macro lens wondering about my daily routine and what aspect I might be able to capture. Had a couple of ideas, but they were a bit pedestrian. Pity this week's theme isn't "dragonflies".
Actually, when you think about it, I now spend a bit of my time everyday preparing for a Macro Mondays submission... the concept, the set-up, the processing, the participation in the Group Pool. And walking around with camera in hand to grab the odd macro shot... ...
Thankyou blue dragonfly, for the epiphany: "Macro Mondays" is now a "part of my daily routine"!

Dancing and twirling is part of the daily routine around here!
It feels good to be home and to start getting back to my norm, not just getting back to my daily routine but seeing my parents on my morning runs (in the background!)

Year Seventeen Of My 365 Project
This was going to be for We're Here! today, but I see the theme is "landscape" during the coronavirus. Must rethink!!
Edited: Ha! I see others didn't do landscapes, so I'll add to the group. Livin' on the edge...lol
Part of my daily routine is watching Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's daily address, followed by the COVID-19 update from Canada's chief public health officer Dr. Theresa Tam.
The PM is encouraging and calming, and Dr. Tam offers straightforward, evidence-based information that helps us feel we know what's going on.
But the highlight of my day comes at 3:00 in the afternoon, when our provincial health officer Dr. Bonnie Henry gives her daily COVID-19 update. She tells us the numbers, explains what they mean, reminds us of our duty to stay home, explains why it's important, and she always finishes with, "Be kind, be calm, and be safe."
It's her catch phrase, but we know she really means it. She has become a bit of a rock star here -- people have posted musical tributes to her, poetry, public art, you name it.
Recently local shoe designer John Fluevog (if you've seen those fab patchwork boots in my photo stream, those are his, from the 70s) has designed a Dr. Bonnie Henry shoe -- two-tone pink, with the catch phrase written on them. She's a big fan of his shoes, so it was a perfect gesture. Only 200 pairs are being manufactured, and they went online the other day. The website crashed almost right away. The $300+ shoes sold out in short order, and profits went to the Food Bank.
