I began this blog in 2011 in an attempt to improve my photography and showcase all of California's 58 counties. I didn't quite make all of the 58, I missed three and I will try to rectify that in the coming year. I'm not sure how much I improved my photography because I always seemed to be in a rush. In 2012 I plan to take more time, perhaps not post every day (this is one thing I did accomplish in 2011). I also plan to expand beyond California and include images from other parts of Western United States. I will continue to include a map showing where I was when I took the picture. I will keep commentary to a minimum, long photo essays will continue to be at Martha's Musings.
Ahhh, A new year! I like your resolutions. I know my decision to post once a week was a good one for me. How you were able to publish every day is mind bending. I too, am committed to seeing more of my state. Nice look at the Anna's HB, we had a down year around these parts so it is a kick to see your rich photos! Cheers!
WOW! I live the detail you captured here. My New Years challenge was to do Project 366 and if that proves too difficult, then I will revert to Project 52.

I'm amazed at the crispness and details of this shot. Such a beautiful bird.
Great shot of a difficult subject!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
Beautiful colors! Awesome close-up, Martha! Very nice!
Amazing colour on the throat.
You really captured the texture and color of the gorget and the catch light in his eye.
A wonderful image of a lovely little bird I don't see in the UK.
Great shot, Martha! Metallic plumage against real metal; seems to fit right in as a comment on Springman's post.
Beautiful (guess I should say handsome). I love your header shot and the review there of your goals for the year.
Wow, fantastic capture of the hummer. He is a beauty.
