As the year draws towards the end, and the decade for that matter too, it becomes time to select one's favorite images of the past year. In 2019, I got out photographing less due to a lack of several things, but I did get to spend a few weeks in the desert this spring and also time with a new GWP pup. In reviewing images, I noticed that I was drawn more to black and white this year, so hence there is a good percentage of those in the set.

Here are five of the eleven images from 2019 that resonated with me the most. The whole set of favorites can be seen on my website.

Merry Christmas and blessings to y'all in 2020

RedRabbit:
As always, envious of your country.

Can't claim this as one of mine, as it's Cookie's doings with a lot of time and effort before things came together. Only acquired because she would not give up. Likely won't ever be in a similar setting again.


I did, however, get to hit the shutter on this one.


Have a good one,

so kool.........

I'm just a wanna be.................

Duckster:
Mother Nature has quite the palette. Get similar views from our back deck with a comment to Cookie that we need the Tetons back there. Your image points out that's not really a requirement. Nice capture.

tikkanut:
Put something up, as none of us here have anything near identical experiences.

1' - nice ram. He does not look like a fighter considering lack of horn chips and nose scars.
Tikkanut- show us some Utah. I did not make it there this year.
Duckster- reminds me of past sunsets seen over the lake in south texas

Something more common here in Nebraska rather than mountains

A few from this years travels.

Red Wing Blackbird --- early spring



Iceland in May - stream coming from hot mud pool



Sunrise over a lake camping in August



I spent a fair amount of time on birds of prey -- Juvenile Swanson



Finn -- watching geese heading towards our set

Driving home from AZ a few years back, somewhere in NM on I-10.

HughW:
Envious of that Redwing shot. A bit of luck given the shallow depth of field there.
