When I look back at my photographic experiences in 2025, I can’t get too excited. Except for my Panama Canal Cruise (which I haven’t been able to process yet), it was a repeat of places we had been before. So, I just picked a few that I liked. I’m sure I posted pictures of the outings from which these were taken, but these were not edited or posted.

Let’s start with the one image I processed of the Panama Canal. This is of the lock just before entering the lake.

Next are pictures of birds. It’s difficult for me to get pictures of Sandhill Cranes because I don’t have a super long lens. I got lucky with this one being closer to the road. The next image is my first of a pheasant. Too bad it was a super foggy day.

You know I enjoy photographing flowers.

I love trees. They are so expressive.

My back is telling me to end this post, and I must listen. Thank you Beth for encouraging us to spread our wings last week. Have a wonderful holiday and happy New Year. I’ll see you in 2026! In the meantime stay safe and live in gratitude.

I’m plagiarizing Patti because she said it so well:

  2. Anne, what a good collection of the shots you had not featured yet. Knowing you have not processed your Panama Canal shots makes me feel in good company. I have a huge backlog of images. Luckily, the challenges we have here motivate me to edit a few. I loved the trees, birds, and flowers you shared. Beautiful gallery! Best wishes for your recovery and the new year!

  5. A beautiful selection, Anne.

    I especially love the flowers. You photograph them so well.

    Hope the holiday season is kind to you (and your back). Take it easy and here’s hoping you’ll feel even better in 2026.

  10. I know you’ve had a rough year, but it’s good to see these lovely photos that you managed to take despite that. I’ll be very interested to hear about your Panama Canal cruise when you feel able to process and write about it.
