2021 Project 365 Round-Up

 

Another year over and gone. How many versions of that have you heard or read in the past few days? 
With another year finished it also brings to a close my project 365 daily photos, my 9th year of it to be exact. Nine years of (pretty much) daily photos. I've heard multiple times over these past nine years, from a range of people, how difficult it must be to take a photo every day and although you do intentionally have to pick up a camera and some days settle for the everyday mediocre subject, it becomes routine. Plus, if you are someone who takes photos a lot anyway it isn't a chore in the slightest. I will never regret having nine years of memories to look back on, to remember where I was or what I was doing on any given day. It's fantastic. 
Anyway, as I enter year 10 of daily photos I wish to share my round-up of this past year. Below you will find my 2021 in Review.

And that's a wrap of 2021! Another quiet year just like the previous, but still better than 2020 in regards to family illness and other stresses. There were a few more outdoor adventures though hopefully we can step that up again in the new year. We also still may have not had our honeymoon or even have one on the horizon, but I did finally get to start that volunteer job with Cats Protection which I am loving. 
I ran over a thousand miles gaining 8 medals total which in turn contributed to a few different animal charities, I earned a distinction in my Zoology course and took part in a few other smaller courses too.

Thanks for following along with my 9th year of daily photos. Remember you can see them in real-time over on my Instagram - mrs.hall0w . Some of the days also have many more photos to see but I cap it at 10 for this project, so pop onto my main blog - Underland to Wonderland - to see posts including those as well as much more.

Until next time...
