The inspiration for my ‘100 Reasons to be Glad’ series of photos can be found on ‘100 photos 1 ::‘. I intended to post them all in 2010 but the project slipped and it took me two years in the end. There were some reasons I would have liked to include but didn’t get chance to take photographs of the themes, examples of these are Red pandas, String Quartets and Maya Gold Chocolate.
The full list can be found below or you can browse through the photographs without the distraction of accompanying words on the blog 100 photos.
I do have another ‘100 photos project’ lined up for this year which I will be starting soon.
- 100 Photos 30 :: Memories (duplicate of 59)
- 100 Photos 40 :: The Countryside (duplicate of 74)
- 100 Photos 59 :: Memories (duplicate of30)
- 100 Photos 74 :: The Countryside (duplicate of 40)
And all great reasons.
There were lots of other things I could have added too, but the challenge was getting a photo of them.
Great list!
Wonderful photo.
Thanks Mats
Ah… You have given me an idea. My “100 reasons to be bleedin’ miserable” series will be starting soon…
Only joking (I hope).
Actually that series would be quite fun
I guess thinking it fun probably spoils the whole premise 
Many things could be in both series, just depending on context and attitude. For example:
Reasons to be bleedin’ miserable No. 1: Morning
Reasons to be glad No. 1: Morning
Ditto No. 2: Family
No. 3: Weather
No. 4: Friends
No. 5: Job
No. 6: Se………… Ach no, I will venture no further into what may bring both misery and gladness… to all or some concerned
I suppose the moral of the thinking is something I tend to say a lot: “It’s not the situation that matters, it’s the attitude you take to the situation.”
Which gives me No. 8: Philosophy
Yes, I notice I missed out No. 7. I think it was… “Forgetfulness”
It is as you say the attitude to the situation.
I would love to see your full 100
Philosophy – Yes! but I am not sure how I could photograph that…
I didn’t notice you had missed number 7, which perhaps means I am unobservant?…
What a lovely cosmos!
But I think my tropical flowers are somehow more exotic. Ha ha…
Your tropical flowers are delightful and hit you in the eye. These English flowers are pale and understated
I’ve been away from your blog too long!
I have one simple reason to be glad. I am alive!

And that is a very good reason to be glad
The love of life
