10,000th Post --– My Favorite Captures -- (41)

Hi PhotoFriends,

Today is my 10,000th post!
This coming November, I will be a member at FM for three years.

I wanted to thank you all for being so very kind to me.

I remember joining and putting my first post which was of hummingbirds. I also remember putting up a one-year anniversary post of my favorite photographs as you made me grow to a better photographer.

Here it is almost three years later and some of you are still making me grow.

I still do APPRECIATE all your wonderful photographic tips and you all sharing your beautiful work here.

Pull up a chair and relax as you scroll through some of my favorite captures:

Congrats on 10000 Bee Balm!! You are a positive presence on the forum and help make it a friendly, enjoyable place to share and discuss photography.
10K in less than 3 years is amazing - you are quite prolific (my rough math puts that at an average of nearly 10 posts a day)! Especially considering the stories and wonderful images you fill your posts with, very impressive.

Here's to the next 10K!

First of all a big congrats on 10,000 and in only 3 years...wow Your posts are always a joy to view and the time you take to include such narrative in most of them is always a welcome bonus. Looking through this post I was reminded of so many good shots that I've seen from you over the past 3 years. Your photography is top notch among a forum that is full of excellent photographers. Looking forward to the next 10,000.

Cheers... and thanks for sharing
