Country Avenue, please leave your comments.

No matter how many sets I upload to SG the part of the MR process where I wait and see if everyone likes the set enough for it to go FP will NEVER be easy. I have spent the last two days biting my nails over it, I hate this part of the process so much. Panic as the comment count slows, wondering if it's enough, hoping against hope. Obsessively checking my %, wondering if I should write a blog with a link, checking round the site to see if anyone's mentioned it in whatever threads. So so lame!!! I am learning to try and let go, let the comment count run its course. Thank you so so much to everyone who has left lovely comments so far. I really appreciate it and my eyes light up every time I see your familiar user pictures and names. I love hearing what you all have to say. I'm at almost 700 comments, I feel like if I reach 1000 within the next few days I might just be lucky and get a set on the front page again, I really hope I do, this is by far my favourite one so far. So please, if you like it and you have time, go flick another comment it's way.

Exkyu and I shot at about 2pm on a warm autumn afternoon. It was still very cool and I was grateful there was sunshine and the warm tar road to keep me from getting goosebumps. There were a few cars that went past while we were shooting. Because it wasn't a dirt road, you couldn't hear them coming so they would always suddenly be there. Also, there were people playing golf right near us at one point. I was sitting on the side of the road, midway through the shoot, completely naked and a car appeared and the old man driving it stared at me as he went past. I have no idea whether he was scandalised or whether I'd just made his day. We'll probably never know! Luckily when I was shooting the last part of the set where I'm walking along the road naked no one came past. I was so worried somebody would!! I don't know how the other girls do such public sets. This was definitely enough for me!

The spot was so beautiful, though. Exkyu and I were driving along it just when the leaves had the first touches of yellow on them and I was so amazed at the beautuful colours. But when we came back 2 weeks later to shoot, it was even better. Even more golden and wonderful. I am so thankful to those poplar trees for being so beautiful and brightening everyone's day. And now they're brightening the days of all the SG members who see my set as well as those lucky people who can drive down that road at the right time of year. Photography is magical like that.

I hope you all have a wonderful day. Here's me being an ass at home...
