I have about 300 photos from the past months which I still have o edit. These are the ones which I have already chosen to be good enough. Most are from walks and hikes I have already posted about, and these photos just didn't fit or I have been too lazy to edit more than neccessary ;)
It was the same here - we didn't have any rain for weeks and then after a few wet days everything turned green and the flowers have been blooming in all colors :)
So, when you say you have tons of images you think you can lay lazy around because you have enough photos for the next months? I thought the same, but to be honest, I don't know if I am going to use most of the above mentioned photos if I can get fresh images soon ;)

no. I meant a different thing at all. ofc I will make more photos. but.... one have to slow down pause and look at whats done, to move further. I dont want to multiple raw files one gigabite next to another then being hided beneath a new ones atc etc etc -- I know myself, I may never return back to these folders again :/
actually, when I got a 70-300 telephoto back in 2008, my wife and me used it a lot for the architectural walks around the city -- we took a lot of pictures of mascarons and other cool remnants of the past, signs of the city environment (and no portraits of the strangers, no streetphoto) -- I know I need to share these pics, there is a lot of very intresting (and exclusive) stuff the folks would appreciate. a lot of hivers would never travel to SPb and never see it other way -- I have to do that... but! this is an old stuff and for me, emotionally, it is being hidden with the fresh stuff - which is not that exclusive/unique/valuable, actually (everybody can capture an appletree bloom or a ladybug!) = but it is more valuable for myself, currently, like a growing photographer. so... thats why I said what I said. a little self-restriction helps to speed-up sharing the stuff-that-have-been-done, and opens the road for the new photos
Well, normally the books I read have less words than your comment and they have also photos inbetween ;) lol
I know exactly what you mean and I do have such folders too. The black swan and the photo of my climbing father for example comes from such an old folder :)
I have a complicated system which is only easy for me. I use Lightroom and Photoshop and I have many different folders for original files, file which need to be edited and then published and already published files, but all in all it comes quite close to your system with hidden old files, but the black swan for example ist such an old file ;)
