You have had quite a memorable 2012! It must have been fun reminiscing as you reviewed the huge collection of photos taken over the past year. And, it must have been challenging to choose which of the many favorites to post. If you're anything like me, all the photos taken while hiking sort of fall into the "favorite" category! :-)

Beautiful and interesting photos, Steve. For those of us in the arid west it's nice to see the green, and to see the fall colors.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing!
Thank you, Rita! You have some pretty good scenery out your way, too!
