12 years of Blipfoto!

I can't quite believe it. 

My very first blip was in June 2010. It was not the most exciting image, but it was the gateway to a new way of photographing. I had no idea then about all the friends I would make along the way. You Blippers are just THE BEST!!

I had planned a special image today with 12 eggs. Then, when I was out walking, I decided that I should use an image from the day. It rained overnight and the grasses on the moorland around Greenhaugh were very wet.

I went with the Redesdale Ramblers for the first time. There were just 5 of us. They walk about 6 miles on their walks, but do not stop for a drink or a snack. You have your drink "on the hoof". It's interesting to see how different groups function. The leader introduced the walk by saying it was a boring route!! It wasn't.

On the last leg of the walk, we walked by the Tarset Burn. I have never before seen so many betony flowers. There was also the Devil's Bit Scabious, a favourite of mine. I may return with the close up lens to capture their beauty.

If you enlarge my image I hope you will see the subtle messages within. I hope they are not too small.

Blipping is a way of life for me. I am so grateful for all the wonderful people I have met here. Long may we continue.

Many, many thanks to the current team and to Joe Tree who had the original vision.
