I wanted to post this yesterday because there’s nothing quite like a last-minute reflection (reflective?) blog post on the last day of the year, isn’t it?

No?

What do you mean it’s not a brilliantly original idea?

Turns out I had to delay the post because I was preoccupied with another last-minute task yesterday: batch-uploading my Project 365 to Flickr. I might have missed 26 days out of 365, but bloody hell… I’ve really done it! :) It was my first Project 365… and I’m proud of it so I’m going to dedicate its own reflective post *insert a tired groan*

2011 has been awesome and brought me a lot of things. Good things and tidings, that I am very grateful for. If a picture paints a thousand words, these few shots I took in 2011 mark what a wonderful year it was.
