Winter at Lithgow
Uploaded: July 24, 2018 | Entered: July 24, 2018 13:10:13
Today is the renewal day for my BP membership. While I have made many great friends over the years, I feel I am not travelling down the same path as BP anymore. It is with some regret I am resigning from the group, I don’t think I could stand the stress of being ignored and waiting for over 4 weeks for management to explain their new renewing procedures again. I would like to wish you all the very best for the future, and thanks for some wonderful memories.
This photo was made feature photo of the week, from my new Aussie camera group.

So sad to hear this. We are losing many of the members that have been here the longest. I know several leaving because of the change with categories. BP really needs to take notice of this. I will really miss you and your beautiful photography. Gorgeous capture and congrats on your POTW. Take care. #11716176Amalia Sylvia Arriaga Salinas July 25, 2018

John, I wondered why I did not see many of your kind and encouraging comments on my gallery. I'd been away for a good while and came back to see new names, missing the old ones who were so familiar. Best wishes to you and yours. #11726225Ritajane Smith September 26, 2018
