I made barely a dozen or so posts this year and I am still one of the last to the party. That being said, here are my Top 5 for the 2025 Gray-Card Memorial/Photo Extravaganza and I just hope they make it past "the bouncer". Big, big thanks, as always, to @luxlit (and @allthingsfern, a.k.a. the bouncer) for hosting this annual event. I appreciate you! ❤️

It’s been an interesting year, to say the least, and one in which I barely found the time (or desire) to pick up a camera.  Instead, in the rare, quiet moments I found, I chose to immerse myself in them without a camera in hand. I think many can agree it has been interesting on a global level as well.  My wish (naive as it may be) is for less “interesting” and more calm, light, love and peace as 2026 unfolds.

That being said, and with thanks to @jetblackcode​, here’s my Top Ten of 2025.

Merry Christmas.

One kind word can warm three Winter months.

Happy Winter Solstice. On this longest night and with the return to brighter days, I wish you love and light but, more than anything, may we all see the return of more peaceful days ahead.

Lest we forget

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them.
