Last week, I shared a longer year in review and a selection of my favorite black and white photos from 2019. Below, you will find some of my favorite color photos - a collection that covers a diverse range of landscapes and subjects. Thank you for your ongoing interest in and support of our photographic endeavors. I wish you all a healthy, happy 2020 - hopefully with some time spent outside enjoying wild places. We will be back soon with some new educational posts and new photographs for 2020.
