My favorite things about 2024 are probably my favorite things about every year I get to be alive. I love Beauty and that my eyes can detect it – sparkling, natural, unusual, colorful, delightful to touch, balanced, calm or surprising. I see Beauty everywhere, and that is my favorite way to view Life. I love connection, and that is my favorite, too: connecting with family, with Nature, with living beings of any description, with ideas and culture and history. My trip to New Orleans, Louisiana, and the chance to hang out with 10 family members there was a definite highlight of the year. I am so grateful to be able to look back at this past year and remember the specific moments of beauty and connection that I got to enjoy. It’s wonderful that photography helps to do that. And it’s wonderful to share that joy with others. Thank you, Lens-Artists, for sharing your joy with me! Thanks to Tina for this week’s inviting challenge.
Such a well-balanced gallery – I love how you arranged your choices. The shot of the guy imitating art is a hoot! I especially love the damp leaves next to the frosty leaves.
