An image a day is the goal. I didn’t make it as planned, but here are some of the best most evocative memory captures for 2009 in this, the 109th and ultimate blog post of the year for Groundling. See you on the other side!

I’m very keen to have the opportunity to join in the celebrations following Barack Obama’s inauguration; I imagine the place will be bursting with bonhomie and pride. It deserves to be. I’ll be tweeting and blogging and uploading

Right now my garden is abloom with them and I’ve brought a vase full of them into the house where they positively glow in the room.

Day 26: Bring on the Media
Back to the daily Comment Challenge tasks and I’m hunting down some A-V apps to diversify commenting and make it more dynamic. I’ve had a few words to say over the past week or so on my commenting using Seesmic, so I won’t bang the drum again. If you haven’t read them, just type ‘Seesmic’
