Retrospective Part 2

On the rails in Marietta

I got to thinking after posting yesterday that I should have mentioned that the photos I’m picking are not necessarily photos I deem to be some of my best.  When I decided to do this, I concluded that the best approach for me would be to choose images that are either my favorites or I just plain like for some reason or another even though they may not make a top ten favorites list.

I have such a difficult time with the idea of “best” when it comes to images (or art, for that matter).  Anyone’s images, not just my own.  My taste changes all the time.  What speaks to me one day may be silent the next.

Going through the archives, I don’t remember taking much time with some of these photos.  I took so many images this past year that many languished in the archives, sad and neglected.  Well, okay.  Maybe they aren’t sad.  Some look quite happy.  They’re just waiting.  Patiently.

The rain of the past few days has finally moved on.

Looking out the kitchen window on a rainy Wednesday afternoon.

The rain took the darkness and the clouds with it.

Looking out the dining room window as the clouds start to clear on a Thursday afternoon.

We even saw the sun for a little this morning.

Sunshine lighting up the trees at the back of the pond on a Friday morning.

It is cold outside, and the clouds have come back.  Lake Erie likes to keep us under a cloud cover for a good part of the beginning of winter.  I’ve noticed we do see some sunshine in the morning and often again at sunset during this period.  You have to be paying attention if you want to see the sun this time of year.

That’s it from the Bogs for today.  Thank you so much for visiting.  I am once again falling behind in returning those visits, and hope to catch up with you all next week.  I have scheduled some posts for the weekend.  Have a wonder-filled weekend and I’ll see you next week.  🙂
