Looking Back… Favorites of 2012
My roundup of 2012 was a fun challenge. Driving across country twice this year and hitting seven national parks provided a massive amount of subject matter. My favorites list, however, encompasses a diversity of subjects ranging from landscapes to portraits and urban scenes.
A photograph is a favorite for various reasons. For me, these shots evoke a warm memory, a special time shared with someone, a moment of tranquil beauty or an interesting composition that sparked my creativity.
Thanks again for taking the time to view my photography and for your support over this past year.
Happy New Year and all the best to you in 2013!

Hi Jane, A challenging and fun way to reflect on a year of work. Of course, your gorgeous grandson is an easy addition! Thank you, as always, for your kind words and encouragement, friend.
January 1, 2013 at 6:13 pm
7 parks…you very lucky girl!! The only place you have mentioned that I have been fortunate enough to see is San Francisco. Which one was your favorite?
January 1, 2013 at 6:00 pm
Hi Laurie, I would have to say Bryce…truly incredible. Monument Valley is up there on the list (it is a tribal nation park) and of course, Grand Canyon is an experience that should not be missed! Thank you for asking and for stopping by. Happy New Year!
