Happy New Year! I am so glad to be looking at 2021 in my rear-view mirror, and I know I’m not the only one. For so many reasons, it was a tough slog. But, as my first complete year living in the majestic state of Oregon, it was also a year to discover beauty outdoors that I’d never seen before. I have compiled 12 of my favorite photos into a calendar of the past. I hope you enjoy it!

Wow 😍🥰 okay
That’s a wonderful calendar! I’ve started creating one every year. they are a great reminder of the previous year’s events!
Thanks, John! It’s a great exercise for memory and appreciation, for sure.
A beautiful calendar! Thank you for your support!
Thanks, Amy! My pleasure, as always. 🙂
Loved your approach to this one Priscilla – all wonderful but my favorite has to be the water droplets in April. Like you, I found 2021 to be a “tough slog” (wish I’d thought of that phrase!!) and am hopeful 2022 will bring us a serious improvement! Happy New Year to you and yours.
Thank you so much, Tina! All the best in new hope, new adventure, and enduring love to you and yours.
Beautiful. Can’t be easy selecting only one per month
Thanks! Actually, the selection process was pretty easy. I don’t think I took as many photos this year.
Glad you’re enjoying your time here in Oregon! I liked your photo of Strawberry Mountain and the close up of lupine leaves with raindrops.
Thanks! Extra points for knowing those are lupines!
Wonderful choices.
Thanks, Dawn!
Beautiful choices Priscilla!
Thanks, Anne, and congratulations on a new creative project!

I love the water droplets on the leaves. Happy New Year.
