End of year, best wishes to a happy new 2012!!!

It is almost a year when I encountered the site Blotanical and became a member of the "blogging club" where garden lovers meet to share their passion:gardening in any of the forms it can ben lived.  Since today is also the last day of the year, and I believe it is time for celebration and a special visit to posts from the year 2011.

There are many ways to"read" the visits to one's blog, by looking at visits in statistics, the The Barbican Complex, architecture with nature in the City of London post can be the most visited, followed by Helleborus Snow Love, Crocus Vernus "Queen of the blue"Visit to Parc Tenbosch, Brussels, and The Botanical Garden in Antwerp, an intimate botanical garden, among others.

Another way to evaluate visits is by the comments on posts, the ranking here could be: Helleborus Niger "HGC Josef Lemper", Astrantia Alba MajorMagnolia Soulangeana / ForsythiaNarcissus Tiercel, Helleborus Snow LoveHyacinthus "Deflt Blue"Mediterranean cultivars, and so on.  Is is interesting look for coincidences, such as in this case, the post with an image of Helleborus Snow Love that appears in both lists.

 I believe that the best way to look at the work done in a year is a combination of, a third of "not bad" feeling and two thirds of "enthusiasm for what comes ahead" feeling.  But nothing compares to the feeling of gratitude to readers.


Inthe next year there will continue to be posts dedicate to botanical photography, posts about projects I am involved in, posts about visits to gardens, posts in collaboration with colleagues, seasonal posts.  There wull be some personal and professonal changes and hopefully the blog will feature the boggers own garden, a project long desired.  It is a year full of wishes.


I leave you with some images from past weeks, so  here is to you all, my personal wishes of a very happy new year 2012!!!

Looking forward to another fine year of your beautiful work. You may not know, but your photography inspired me to work harder at it. I saw so much in your work from which to learn, from technique to composition.
