10,000 Pictures
While I was in Japan I hit a milestone. As I was wandering around Gujo Hachiman in the rain I snapped this picture along the banks of the Yoshida River.
It's far from the best picture I've ever taken but it is charming in its own way with the forest of bamboo and cedar on the mountainside behind the cheerfully painted homes. As I was taking the photo I was balancing my umbrella, camera and bag trying to get the picture without getting soaked. I got my picture but I didn't stay very dry.
What is notable about the picture is that when I was looking at my photos later I notived that it is the ten thousandth shot that I have taken with my Canon EOS 7D.
I love taking photos and while many are not that great they are all mine, my memories frozen in time. Here's to another 10,000!

I raise my lens today in honour of your 10,000th photo - congratulations and I look forward to your next 10,000. I am taking on FatMumSlim August's photo a day prompts - I got a new lens to try out :-)
Mary-Lou- Thank you! Have fun with your new lens!
That's a fantastic milestone! I'm impressed by the sheer number of countries that those photos must represent. Talk about 10,000 quality images! Congratulations!
That's so cool! How do you know how many photos you've taken? Is it somewhere in the camera settings?
Sandy- Thank you! I can't believe I've taken that many photos with that camera.
Hilary- Thank you! The file name of the photos taken with my camera is four digits and increments each time I take a picture. The counter just rolled over back to 0000 so that's how I knew I had taken 10,000 pictures.
