Best Shot Monday - Good-Bye

I almost couldn't believe it when I read that Tracey was closing the chapter on Best Shot Monday. I can understand that all things come to an end but I will truly miss it. I may have not participated every Monday but I did most. It was a great way for me to sift through the photo's I had taken an reflect on the week behind. Some of my photo's were just snapshots and some really spoke to me. Tracey has always been such and inspiration to me that I would strive to take something that really captured the moment just as she always does.

I know that Tracey has many more endeavors that I will be reading about and hope to be part of. I have already been fortunate to participate in some of her classes at Big Picture Classes. Shutter Sisters is a staple for me and her "i am enough" page inspires me daily.

So in saying Good-Bye to Best Shot Monday, I leave you with my first entry into the BSM world:

  2. Ironic, just this morning I was thinking about BSM and considering getting back into the groove. Time is a fleeting thing. I love the way you summed it up and finished it out. From beginning to end.

  6. wow. I have been out of the loop and was surprised to see that BSM is ending. So many memories there! Time is an amazing thing...and it's amazing to see how Fransesco has changed from a chubby toddler into a handsome boy. That's an incredible shot, Cara!

  8. I have had your blog opened on my server since this morning when there were only two comments! Shows you how long it takes me to get around to blogging. (okay, I have an excuse this time with my walking pneumonia) I love the first post and the last post. Oh how they grow...how we've grown!

  9. teary (when am I not), but your post plus pics, then Tracey's remarks... put me over the limit. Creativity and expression will survive the end to a chapter. AND, you have a budding model(or plural, although Nico needs no stage to perform - exhibitionist extraordinare!) to keep up with. Love your blog! You can hold the audience if you have to.
