Once again, I had good intentions of writing entries in the 2023 blog.  But, it was a good intention that never happened.

Yesterday, I spent time reviewing my photos from this year and it was a delight to go through the year from ice and snow to sunny days to beautiful fall color.  Viewing the galleries as I think about all I've done during the year and all that I photographed was a delight.

I would have to say that the way that I photographed was mainly to document my every day life.  I would take a walk along the Fox River and photograph the icy water's edge during January.  In May, I would go to the local gardens and walk through taking photos of the various colorful blooms.  In the fall, I would just stay within my home and watch the colors unfold in my backyard.

Plus, I had a habit this year of getting up and looking outside in the early morning in the hopes of catching a nice sunrise-colored sky.  Even if it wasn't colorful, I would take a photo anyway.  As I look back, some of the more interesting morning shots were those that weren't colorful.

Yesterday, I went through my monthly galleries and picked out one picture per month, trying to emphasis the photos that I took where I live rather than the various travels during this year. I hope you enjoy the slideshow....
