The second half of the year was really hard to choose the best photo. July had a clear winner, but other months not so much.
As usual for the photography posts, I left the images large so you can click to see them better.
July 2025 Timing is everything, not necessarily location. This is just off my front porch
August 2025 The month of the trip to North Dakota. Lots of nice pictures. But for sheer photography, I choose this one. We were driving out of our campground in the morning. The waterway is the Missouri River and the bluff on the far side is the beginning of the Badlands. The sun was just hitting the bank and making everything glow. I asked Diane to stop. I got out of the car and ran around until I got a shot that didn't have a campsite in it. I like the rippling shadow and the rippling geological lines.
September 2025 I took this just to help with the fern ID. But I love the picture. Marsh Fern spore cases.
October 2025 Too many good choices. The picture I used for the best events of each month is definitely in the running. You could say the light was better in that one, and another one I got, just along the highway. But I choose this one, again because it has a little bit of nostalgic and emotional appeal. Barns and fall go together. They make you think of harvest and conjure up the aroma of apple cider.
November 2025 This photo was pure luck. I was collecting shots for a 6-panel "skyday" post. I was driving home at dusk and realized I hadn't yet taken a shot for that day. Stopped, rolled down the window. Click. I actually had quite a few good pictures from November. But this one wins because I think the colors are a little unusual.
December 2025 It wasn't that long ago you saw this picture. A surprising number of people commented on it. This is my "nature's bonsai" apple tree.
I got my act together today and edited, shopped, chopped veggies and did more kitchen stuff.
