This is my 500th post! 500 - I must be quackers! But no... it is an unending joy in so many ways. Going out and taking photos is always fun and sometimes leads me to feeling really blissed out. (Do you know that feeling? It's amazement at the beautiful, exciting world we live in; sheer pleasure that I can be out in it and notice its detail - the colours, the shapes, the light and shadow, the history, the humour, the places, the people.) And then starting to write a post and finding out what I'm going to put - it often takes me by surprise! And then seeing it all come together (well, at least in my view!) and publishing it. And then the fun of reading all your wonderful comments - so encouraging, often wise, often witty. And the equal pleasure of reading all your blogs - the old friends that I know will make me smile, teach me something new, thrill me with stunning photographs and make me stop and think... and the excitement of discovering new friends too, all with different ways of looking at the world. Quackers? No, I don't think so.
so beautiful scene!! congratulations!
