yesterday was my one year anniversary of blogging. woo hoo! words can't describe how much enjoyment i get from my blog. it has opened up a whole new creative outlet for me, makes me feel fulfilled and has helped me to develop a whole new bevy of skills. i'm proud of what i do and walking tall!!
i've been thinking about how to commemorate this one year anniversary for some time. yesterday i stumbled across hey harriet's blog where she started the shadow shot sunday post and each week invites others to participate. since i've so enjoyed capturing shadow shots this past year i thought it would be great to showcase some of my favorite shadow shots. if you'd like to participate in shadow shot sunday just click on the link on my sidebar! i'm going to make this a regular weekly sunday feature on my blog!!
and, finally, a heartfelt thank you to everyone who reads my blog, leaves comments and offers such wonderful support. it means the world to me!

I agree with you that blogging helps to develop a new skill set. It has greatly improved my bad typing habits...something that nothing else has prevailed against.
You cast a long shadow girl!

Congrats on your first anniversary, Julie. It's been great popping over to visit and see what you're up to. Blogging certainly has opened the door to all sorts of skills and friendships. If it wasn't so early in the morning I'd drink a champagne toast to you and another to blogging :-)
And so a new world and adventure has begun...this wonderful world of blog is a dream come true for this would be traveler, meeting new friends aplenty is what it's all about.
It will be a year in April for me, my how time flies when one is having fun...I never knew I could write prose either...till the blog, happy SSS.

Julie, I want to congratulate you on your blogeversary! I love your art and appreciate your sweet comments on my blog.The shadows are great. That would be a neat grouping or series with all shadows. My blog anniversary will be coming up in May. I started looking on blogs in Nov 07, but didn't start officially blogging until May. Isn't it wonderful blogging and meeting new friends.
I guess I am a little late in gettting here- Congrats to you on your anniversary-

I so understand your love and fulfillment in the world of BLOG.. It is so much fun to meet people we call friends through a little screen on your desk. I just feel like I know people's heart through their creativity and blog postings.. It is a joy to "know" you.

Happy Anniversary Julie! One year? I would have guessed it was longer. You really have great talent with your blogging and your art.
Love those shadow photos. I'd never given much thought to shadows before, but now I see shadows as something magical. Thanks for sharing those photos.
