It's been since May 2018 that I wrote any text on this blog other than the date above the images, even then it was only a sentence or so to describe the happenings in said photos. However, I did previous use my main blog to do multiple P365 related text filled blog posts such as; monthly round ups where I talked about each months highlights and later moving on to a series called 'Back Through the Lens' where I'd go over my projects from 2013 onwards, chose a photo from each week and compare each week of the year over a span of 5 years.
During the last quarter of 2019 my Husband and I started a new blog dedicated to books, reading and everything in-between. But I still find myself missing blogging about other things.
Sooo, here's the plan. As of now I'm going to aim to post at least my daily photos once a week and a Back Through the Lens post once a week. I'd also love to be able to do a monthly summary, just as I used to, showing the month overall and my highlights.
This post itself is actually not just going to be a ramble, but a mini round up of 2019. The best, the worst and the memorable!

This is exactly why I love doing this project. Being able to look back on any day of the year and see what I did, who I spent it with, where we explored is such an exciting and precious thing that I will never tire of. Obviously there have been many down times and sad occurrences too, but being able to look over the year as a whole shows you all the things you have to be thankful for.
I very much look forward to continuing my photo journey and documenting our lives into this new decade. Hi 2020, how are ya?!
