Three more days, and it will have been one year since I first joined Flickr! Thank you all for your much appreciated friendship from various parts of the world, including right here on my doorstep. I really appreciate the time you take to have a look at the images I upload and if you leave a comment, too - well, that is wonderful! I have learned all sorts of things from viewing your photos - talk about being inspired! It's too bad that that thing called LIFE (which we all USED to have before joining Flickr!) interferes with the joy of browsing endless photos. I'm afraid that my LIFE (which includes painful knees that often cut short my time here, a computer that is almost grinding to a halt, and the slowing effect of "old age" that is encroaching much faster than I would like, LOL) seems to be getting in the way more and more. My apologies for not being able to keep up with everything here! My thanks, again.
