500 and still going!

"...well so what if it's 500, we're tired of posing and want to swim" Oscar and Bess seem to be saying! They have been the subjects of many a blip, and I thought it would be appropriate to have them pose today - albeit with tongues sticking out- at their favourite rock pool.
I thought 365 would be my cut off for blipping but it's now 500, and my daily blip remains so much part of my life.
The blip community is like family - with many laughs, and wonderful support through highs and lows.
I love being in touch with people in many different countries, and I have seen the most beautiful photographs from which I have learnt so much.
So cheers to you all, and I look forward to another 500!
