TWO THOUSAND AND TWELVE: TOP SHOTS

 

     This year was rather odd.  The events forced me to recognize beauty in small, daily things.

     There is nothing more beautiful than the early morning smile of my Jazzy sitting in the flowers enjoying the morning sun.  Jazzy is a low maintenance, simple being and I wish everyone could know her. She was a fabulous investment!

This was a lovely yet simple, and everyday crane pondering what to do next with his afternoon.  He made my walk in the park more beautiful.  My only intent that afternoon was to quickly walk the dogs to ease my guilt for not spending enough time with them.

This was a fun attempt at my very own first fashion post on this site   featuring Levi’s jeans and we had a blast together on this day being silly!  This will be a forever memory.

The Woodlands, Texas is where I call home.  This is the Woodlands Waterway.  The shot is taken from a bridge on a walk after lunch.

     Peace and relaxation at home has been the focus of our spare time this year.  This shot was taken on Halloween night as we watched movies and waiting for the bell to ring with trick-o-treaters. Beauty in the simple times.

Black Beach in Hana, Maui took my breath away.   I think of going back often and it was hard to take a bad photo.

Seven pools in Hana, Maui.  Breathless. Imprinted onto my soul!

This is my absolute favorite Hana picture.  This one lane bridge was artistic, simple, extravagant, scary yet comforting…all at the same time.

This shot was taken during our California Road Trip.  We literally could stand there for hours and just breathe. What is life? Life, to me, is about sharing moments such as this.

     My “Alcatraz and a Bird” shot from the first day of the California Road trip.  Alcatraz is so sad to me for a variety of reasons, but whatever the case, this photo stirs emotion. History, regrets, sadness, nostalgia…all things Alcatraz.  While I am sure that two zillion tourists have snapped 22 zillion photos of Alcatraz, this is mine.

     I adore this photo of my new tree with animal print ribbons and bows!  I love putting my personal spin on things, and Christmas  is no different!

     These were my personal top blog shots for 2012 and I can’t wait to see which photos I can take in 2013 and would love to share with you!
