"I can feel it coming in the air today, oh yeah!"

Anyone with me? Anyone else feel that shhhh 'Spring' might just be in sight? I can't wait because with my favourite season of the year comes longer days, more outdoor activities, better natural light and possibly, just possibly the promise of warmth. (I'm wearing a fleece with the heating on 23°C as I type this.)

As ever, this linky only works because of people linking to it and then contributing their thoughts to others' posts.

Join in by entering the URL of your favourite photograph of the week (either a 52 or a 365 photo) and show some comment love to everyone else in the community. We've got a Facebook group, and now I've created a collaborative Pinterest board (if you'd like to collaborate, let me know and I'll add you).

And then there were…

?

In the last week of project 366, how many of us are still going?

A year ago, people began asking me if I was going to be doing my project 365 again. Between the period of Christmas and New Year's Eve, I had conversations with about fifteen different bloggers who expressed an interest in joining in on the project; that's when the idea came about to run a weekly linky. My only ambition for it would be to provide support to those completing the photo project as it had felt a very lonely task to undertake at times by myself.

In the weekly linky, bloggers would choose their favourite photo  of the previous week and link it up. They would then visit a selection of the other linked-up photos and comment on them, to help bolster the morale of that 366 photographer. Support through commenting was always the aim of the linky.

We started not with the 15 anticipated bloggers, but 366 #1 saw 83 people join in. 83! I was shocked, overwhelmed and so pleased to see others joining in. The linky peaked in week 4 with 89 bloggers taking part, before slowly trickling down to a steady 30-odd in the past few months.

It's a hard project to undertake and I'm proud of every single person who's managed to see it through. I'll be honest that I'm really surprised by some who dropped out, not disappointed you understand, just surprised. I also did battle earlier in the year with someone (not in the community) who had delusions of grandeur and accused the people doing the project of demeaning the art of photography. Knob!

Yes, there have been days where we've taken a photograph for the sake of it just so we haven't missed a day. However, I know that I have taken some truly beautiful photographs of my son this year, and captured moments that I may have otherwise ignored. Most days I just snap away, but I know that when I try hard and I take into consideration composition and lighting then I can actually manage to take a technically good photograph. And I've seen so many of the other '366-ers' grow in their ability to take a photograph, and it makes me smile.

Although the primary aim of the linky was commenting, I have found it a joy to be allowed to peak into your lives each week. To see pregnancies develop and babies be born, to be in awe of newborn babies who have taken their first steps, to witness toddlers learn new skills and become their own people. I've visited countries without leaving the sofa and seen daily life from all over the globe. For that I thank you for including me.

So it leaves me to say, for one last time on this year's project:

And will the linky be back next week?

You bet'cha it will!

(My own project will only be posted once a week as a collage, I've lost the will to live posting daily after two years!)

Not long left now and then the project is all over! Anyone thinking of doing it again next year? I'll confess that I am contemplating it.

I know, I'm mad.

I can't quite believe that the year's challenge is almost over. A week or so ago I was fed up with the whole thing, now I'm feeling nostalgic. I know it's hard and there have been times when we've all wanted to give up, but the end is so close with TwoPointFourChildren's project finishing first on Christmas Day; keep going!

It's Christmas time! Wahoo! I'm looking forward to seeing lots of photos featuing: red, green and gold shine; scarves and woolly hats; red noses and sparkly eyes; and Winter walks and fir trees.

I've been a bit ill these past few weeks and my photography is lacking in imagination as a result. Hey-ho, we all have these weeks.

We're on the home-straight now folks, passed day 300 and just 65 pictures left to take.

(Although, I've just spent the last hour backtracking through my 366s to August (!) to track down where I'd misnumbered my posts! Moral of the story, make sure you number them each day.)

This time next week we'll be celebrating passing Day 300 of the 366 linky. Hopefully everyone can see the end is in sight and we won't lose anyone else before then.
