The end.

At the end of 365 days. Many days I didn't think I would make it. 3846 kept photos just for this challenge. Twice that many would have been deleted. In time I will delete more but for now the emotional attachment is too great. Now at this moment two weeks later I am relieved to not have to go find a decent photo each day. However I think I am missing the thrill of capturing that special photo.................2019-12-30T14:00:00.000Z
