It has been quite the year - some things we are happy to see behind us - and many things we have sweet memories about. Join me as we take a trip down memory lane in 2015.
JANUARY
Birds, ponies, funky snowman and a shiny moon
FEBRUARY
Eagles nesting, early blossoming trees, tea parties and mountains.
MARCH
Eagles, more early flowers, daffodil fields, walnut trees blooming, finishing painting the kitchen cabinets, tea with friends for my birthday and a Pi Pie
APRIL
Birds,flowers, kites and spring lambs
MAY
More flowers, Mt. Baker and some shaggy ponies
JUNE
A trip we will never forget - whale watching in the Salish Sea (from Vancouver Island, British Columbia to Seattle) - a gift from our son and daughter-in-law.
Just had to do two for June - birds, flowers, horses, sewing outdoors on the deck and an orangish/red boat named Tomato Sloup
JULY
Our son and his family visited for two weeks from West Virginia - we picnicked, had water wars, played in the creek, celebrated three birthdays and enjoyed our youngest grandson.
So July gets two memory collages - Sailboats, an Osprey, potato fields, Whatcom Falls Park and Washington State Ferries.
AUGUST
Birds wild and tame, flowers, someone's line of clean t-shirts on the clothesline, a day spent on Lummi Island, making jelly and a squirrel appearing to wear a ceramic bird feeder as a saddle.
SEPTEMBER
Birds, pumpkins, horses, truck full of antiques and a darling stone cottage.
OCTOBER
Mt. Baker, birds, a farm stand and barn windows with red geraniums.
NOVEMBER
Floods from unbelievable amounts of rain, ducks and swans and the world painted on a round propane tank.
DECEMBER
Birds, heavy frost, and seasonal waterfalls

This would make a lovely calendar JoAnn.

Thanks for sharing, Joanne! Happy New Year!!
What a wonderful review of a wonderful year! xx
WOW! What a wonderful year you had...hoping this year is even better!...:)JP
Dear JoAnn:
Oh my - such an abundance of wild life! These photos are amazing and I so enjoyed seeing your review! Glad you shared.
You took some amazing nature photos this year. Something else we have in common....we love to get out in nature! Here's to another great year of photography! Sweet hugs, Diane
Oh, what a beautiful year! You captured some gorgeous images, JoAnn! They make wonderful collages. I'm looking forward to traveling through 2016 with you!
(BTW: We had a little snowfall early this morning. It didn't last. By mid-morning more snow came along, mixed with rain, and it pretty much was gone...except some of the stubborn hard frost. It's starting to look like permafrost!)
Looks like a really interesting year!
Very well done JoAnn - your year was busy that's for sure!
I laughed at your comment about re-ironing - Bob did too!
Happy January - Mary x
I enjoyed seeing these again! I noticed the gradual transition in brightness - from January, gradually lighting up until May's burst of color, then continuing throughout summer, until they start to fade again in September! Lots of really great shots - including the family fun with Donnie in July!
What a wonderful year in review! You take beautiful pictures! Happy New Year to you!
Nancy
