Reprise

Look familiar? Well, probably not since no one read or commented on my first post ever December 31, 2008. Today, it's 4 years, 1,460 days without a miss. I'm know there are way longer, consecutive photo posts, but for me this is pretty good. This coming from a guy who has forgotten to vacuum weekly a lot, delays cleaning the microwave after something explodes on him, doesn't pick up random stuff around the house and put it away, and forgets to close doors to cabinets and closets after I go into them to name just a few. On the plus side of my ledger, this streak on posting my photos. Hey, it'll end someday, and I'll live with it. Maybe when it ends, and IF I start over I'll post this shot of the Deering Oaks stone bridge in a snowstorm AGAIN.

Till then my friends, have a wonderful celebrated night. We'll be here watching a little football, a lot of Twilight Zone reruns and eating our traditional New Year Eve's fare: shrimp cocktail,  filiet mignon, scallops, baked potatoes, a bottle of Asti and leftover Christmas pumpkin cheese cake.
Goodbye 2012 and all it brought.  Hello to 2013 and all it holds for us!

  3. A wonderful, snowy photo and congrats to your blog-a-versary. We will be doing much the same this evening....maybe no Twilight reruns.

  4. After trying many, many ways to celebrate New Year's Eve over our many years together, and enjoying many of them, this is what we enjoy the most. Going outside anywhere in Maine this time of year holds no appeal anymore.
    Comfortable clothes, warm woodstove cranking away, good food and the best company we have...each other. Love, love, love it.
    Happy New Year to all.

  14. In 2008 a lot of us weren't as blog savvy as we are now. But in 2013 you will well and truly have our attention!

  18. Not to worry about all that crap. Just enjoy. And if you miss a post, no one will care so neither should you. Lovely shot, here. If you like snow and stuff. Which I do, so long as I don't have to walk, drive or shovel it. :-)

    A very Happy New Year to you and your family, BM! I'll look forward to more of your eclectic photos and pissy commentary in 2013! :-))

  23. Pretty cool, Birdman. That is a long run. I'm afraid to look back to see what I posted in the beginning and when the first comment arrived.

    Have a great year. And, don't forget to vacuum and to close the cabinet doors.

  24. Oh yes, I recognized the bridge, love it!! I am super impressed that you've done this blog for so long, I did not know, as I'm new to Blogland & Birdland.

  25. I don't know how you do it, or anyone else for that matter, to keep posting everyday with something interesting. I can't even keep myself interested in something no less the world like you do. Keep it up, keep me interested. I missed the 31st as I was with my mom in a nursing home, 94 the 29th.
