A Look Back to My Very First Connect Post... #ConnectTurns5Challenge

#connectturns5challenge.gifAnimated Cover photo created by @jayasimha78 using cover photo of my first connect post and @Velvel 's cover photo for this challenge.

My first connect post was in fact a post related to my Connect live 2019 application. The topic I chose was ‘What I love most sharing on Google Maps & Why?’ I was not an avid writer, so I chose one of the photo I captured near my home, which is of a bicycle/walker’s bridge during sunset, content of the post was just to the point. That was on May 2nd 2019. Obviously that was the day I joined connect and pretty much didn’t have any clue about connect. (Not that I have much clue now :slightly_smiling_face: )

From there I have come a long way, I don’t think my writing abilities have excelled as yet. However I am very keen on spending time on writing posts on connect. My subjects are related to things I am passionate about like:

  1. Photography

  2. Travel

  3. Food

4, Hiking

  1. National Parks

  2. Ofcourse #StateChallenge

So far I have posted more than 225 posts, however every post is a learning process for me. Over the course of 2 years I have changed from ‘not an avid writer’ to an enthusiastic writer. Still working on my writing skills though!

@Velvel Thanks for starting this challenge, it is always good to see where we started from and analyze the progress or lack thereof, over a period of time!

A great journey with beautiful photos and posts @jayasimha78 The way wrapped it up is also very good.

I also love the thread in Photography, Travel, Food and of course camping - We are very similar!
