Some years I scan through the year's posts and choose photos from each month for a look back.
All photos will enlarge just click on them

We enjoy the eagle pair that visits out our front door way up in the trees so much.
I found this excellent video of the eagle's song on Facebook-best I have seen and heard Here is a link, located at a raptor center in Alaska-it wasn't on you tube, so you may have to be on Facebook to view it-worth a look
Welcome in 2023
You for sure had a very productive and wonderful 2022! That steak!!! I want some too. Happy New Year, Kathy.
ReplyDeletethat was a memorable steak for sure Happy New Year
DeleteThat little boy is sooo cute. Great scene. Especially when you see what kids do these days... glued to their cells...
ReplyDeleteOh, pizza.
I had one mini-babybel, but Ingo now is off to get me a bifi. Week three I cannot really eat and am sick. Boy. Back in the day this got quicker to get over with.
Oh, your lake.... so beautiful. And the December Mouse!
Thank you - I never heard an eagle before and imagined a totally different, deeper sound.
To a great 2023!
that was a young man fishing with his dog-it was fun watching the dog too-they stayed nearby fishing for awhile. one of my favorite photos for sure.
DeleteI love babybel cheeses-what is a bifi? so sorry you are still sick-I sent you and email too-replied back to your comment email.
get well-hugs and glad you were able to watch the eagle video
A nice look back at the year!

ReplyDeleteYes it was a good year, hubs is recovering from his operation this month, gorgeous sunrises most every day to wake up to. Happy New Year Erika
DeleteI usually do a similar kind of year-end wrap but by the time I get to it this year, we'll probably be in February! I enjoyed looking back at yours, especially the times before I "met" you. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteFirst, I LOVE your new background. The school girl in me, I guess. Second I LOVE your retrospective. I usually do that too, but that takes time I don't seem to have at the moment. Third, I always leave your blog HUNGRY! What fun art you created this year and great Lake shots, too. Love the birds and the food you share so willingly. I couldn't get on to Facebook to see the eagles. Sorry!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, dear. I'm delighted to have met you in the world of blogging, the only social media site I am on.
I ended up changing my background again from the notebook paper to this wintry scene-I couldn't get the right colors to match up with the notebook paper .I did like that one too
DeleteI have enjoyed taking a look back through all my posts just to reflect-and reminds me of projects I got into and then didn't get back to-hope to do better this year-especially the sashiko bags.
I looked around to see if they had that eagle video posted elsewhere besides facebook but they didn't it was the best I have seen so far. I will look around on you tube to see if I can find one as good of the eagle .sorry you couldn't see it.
I do Not like Facebook at all-they censor everything just like twitter did (not on twitter) -and I never have liked it there, but most all of my former blogging friends went there-and my favorite author is on there too so I stay ugh I really need to stop posting over there too.
so glad you enjoyed the year review in photos and I am so glad I met you and T if not for you I wouldn't know anyone here on blogland hard to find friends here. I think Deb suggested and Carol in Missouri invited me too-I don't hear from Carol anymore
Happy New Year!! and hugs for the kitties
Oh how I enjoyed your year in review. You have definitely had a wonderfully productive and creative year. Wow! Now I am excited to see what is in store from you at the studio and kitchen on the lake. Happy New Year to both of you.
ReplyDeletethank you so much Mary-hugs
DeleteHappy New Year! t is one of my joys to get your notes and cards and to just know we are friends. I loved looking at your photos, and remembering the past year. All the best to you and your husband!
ReplyDeleteThank you Debra, I feel the same-I love my slow mail friends very much-hugs Happy New Year to you and yours as well
