Favorites Photos of 2017

29 Replies

It’s that time of the year to look back and choose some favorites. Here’s a tidy 2 dozen of my personal sentimental favorites. All four seasons of my ordinary hikes are represented. Most were taken close to home, demonstrating that the wonders of creation can always be found near your own backyard.

The Thrill of the Capture

27 Replies

Looking back over a year of photos is the thrill of the capture and the agony of delete. Each week, photos are culled, choices made and posted. Thinning the selection even more poses quite a challenge. I thought this year I’d chose an even 2 dozen. This year I decided to enter 3 photo exhibitions and stretch myself and my skill. Four ribbons graced my photos so my eye and craft is improving. But for these I put some of the  technical aside and held on to some of my own emotion attachments and just chose my favorites.

Enjoy! Happy New Year! Wondering what we’ll be capturing together in a new year.

Sunday Scene

Let us acknowledge the Lord;
    let us press on to acknowledge him.
As surely as the sun rises,
    he will appear;
he will come to us like the winter rains,
    like the spring rains that water the earth.

Hosea 6:3

 

A Photo a Week Challenge – Rain Drops

All of my photos this spring have rain drops in them I think. Even the 17 Year Cicada I posted Saturday needs to dry out. So here are a few more photos with rain drops to join Nancy Merrill’s A Photo a Week Challenge.
