Year in Photographic Review

What a crazy year! We did so much traveling, both locally and around the country, that it was pretty hard to do this entry. The idea is that you pick 12 pictures, one from each month of the past year, to illustrate a year in your life. We took soooooo many photographs this year, it was hard to choose! And we did so much more than I could put there!

So, Happy New Year, and here's to another crazy-busy one!

January:

View of the Las Vegas Strip from the top of the Eiffel Tower

February:

Street sign in the French Quarter during my birthday trip to New Orleans

March:

Crazy people jump into a frozen lake in Nederland, CO for Frozen Dead Guy Days, celebrating the joy of cryogenics

April:

Hippies dance happily during the Colorado Beltane Festival, outside of Loveland, CO

May:

Jonmikel hiking around the dunes at Great Sand Dune National Park in southern CO; we also stopped to visit our favorite natural hot spring resort, Valley View Hot Springs

June:

We bought our first house together in Lander, WY!!!

July:

The view from our porch at Northside Valley, an eco-lodge on St. Croix, USVI, where we spent the 4th of July with friends

August:

The month of weddings! This is of my cousin Johnny and his beautiful bride Janine at their wedding in Southern California

September:

Finally living with Jonmikel in Lander, WY after a summer of separation while I finished my work in Ft. Collins, CO, we decide to spend his birthday exploring the Killpecker Sand Dunes, just north of Rock Springs, WY

October:

My parents come visit us here in WY, and we show them the best sites in the area, including the rugged Wind River Mountains and the moose!

November:

We spend Thanksgiving in Utah's canyon country, visiting Arches, Canyonlands, and Capitol Reef National Parks and this gorgeous (and not yet full of people!) little slot canyon, Little Wild Horse Canyon. We also stayed at Red Cliffs Lodge and Winery and took advantage of great off-season rates!

December:

We buy a permit from Shoshone National Forest and, for the first time for both of us, cut our own Christmas tree! Merry Christmas everyone!

And have a great 2010!
