Much to my surprise, it's been several years since I tried to show you the best pictures taken month by month. I was trying to show you some from the big hike, but apparently the last year I really did it was 2021. Wow!
I'm just going to do the first 6 tonight, and the rest tomorrow. Some of the choices were hard. I'm not really a photographer. I don't hang around for the light to be good, or go hunting for super shots. More often I'm trying to make sure the picture shows a certain seedpod or hairy stems, etc.
Anyway, here are tonight's six. I've left them full size, so you can click to see them better if you want.
January 2025 This is the Ludington Lighthouse, taken on a beach drivethrough after one of my many doctor appointments that month.
February 2025 Still mostly in bed. But I opened the kitchen door and got this.
March 2025 Well, it was Flower Show month. How do I pick one photo? ANyway, I seldom get good pictures of people, and I just love this one of Selma. She turns 96 next week, so this is perfect. She needs more help to get around, but Marie says she's still perking.
April 2025 Meh. I didn't take any really stellar pix. This is Hamlin Lake. There were a couple of better pictures from June I could have substituted, but the rules are "one per month!"
May 2025 The rock garden, of course. Well, not of course, because it's about the best picture, not the most pictures. But I think this one wins anyway. Nice color palette, textures, angles, light.
June 2025 Choosing ONE for June was tough. Flowers, Adirondacks. Wow. But the best pictures really make you feel something, right? So rather than a great landscape, I choose this scene on Puffer Pond. Don't you just want to be there?
Today was a total play day. OK, I did wash some dishes. Now I'm going to go watch a movie with Om and walk on the treadmill. Doug is plowing the driveway. Yeah!
