As I have scrolled endlessly through the images I have taken throughout the year, I am again filled with gratitude for all that I have seen and done. I have so much beauty on my doorstep and wonderful friends to enjoy it with. My selections for each month are random choices.

Life has been very kind to us, unlike for so many. Peace and joy in 2023, Sara.
DeleteI agree! It's so hard to whittle down just a few shots as favorites when you (and I!) take thousands. But you definitely had many highlights, and I enjoyed seeing what you chose to feature. Here's hoping for more in-person times with your grandchildren in 2023!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kim. June/July will see us back with our treasures.
DeleteYour Summer garden is beautiful. Nice recap.
