Hello, I wanted to do something a little different for my 300th upload. So I thought I would dedicate this to all those on my friends list, thank you all for your inspiration and your friendship. Even to those that are no longer active or no longer with us. Or even the one or two that I no longer hear from, you all had a part in encouraging me. I was a little saddened to see that while going through this list many are no longer active. I would encourage everyone here to be more active, with your art, whatever genre it may be, and to be more supportive to the members here if they've just started out, or been around awhile we all need to be applauded or persuaded. I have signed up for some photography course that start on July 17 so I can learn my new camera and I am so excited about that, but I do not plan to change my style of photography only hope to enhance it or improve it a bit... Hope you all are having a lovely weekend. HUGSSS
