It's become a regular tradition for me to rummage through my photographs at this time of year to find twelve that might make a calendar for the next year. It seems to get harder every year as things don't always occur as you'd expect - no snow in January and autumn colurs coming later and later each year. Anyway these are the ones I came up with...
january
february
march
april
may
june
july
august
september
october
november
december
Take care (and all the best for next year of course).
If nothing else the discipline of going through your photographs to come up with this retrospective will bring back memories of the year you had.
ReplyDeleteYou have flowers that bloom in February?
ReplyDeleteYes, snowdrops can start blooming in January (or even late December) and can even appear when a little snow is on the ground.
DeleteWhat a great 12 photos during the year! Thanks for sharing these last 12 months with us!
ReplyDeleteI love this so much. I think I'm going to do it on New Dharma Bums this month, and thank you for the inspiration. Beautiful year of photos and a wonderful idea.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful images all, John! They’ll make a great calendar.
ReplyDeleteIt's a great way to remember the past year, though it must be terribly hard to choose 'only' twelve. They are all beautiful, my personal favourite is June. You captured a wonderful moment there.
ReplyDeleteThat is worth hanging on any wall - brilliant photographs John. Is there any way I wonder that I could convert it into a calendar?
ReplyDeleteI think those would male a fine calendar. I love that first photo!
ReplyDeleteWhen you see the year set out as you have done, it makes you realise just how rapidly the monthly landscape and nature change over the year.
ReplyDeleteA lovely set of photos.
I can't believe that your Snowdrops bloom in February! February is still like January here. And where did the green sky come from in May? All wonderful photos!
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos John. I wonder whether you do make a calendar. I make one each year for friends and family but your photos put me to shame.
ReplyDeletePerfect choices, John.
ReplyDeleteVery, very good. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteI would buy this calendar John.. seriously fabulous choices, lovely reflections in my birth month October ✨
ReplyDeleteI adore the duck photo! Such a great idea to do a calendar. I'd buy one if you were selling them!
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos, as always. I do hope you actually make a few of these calendars. You should sell them!
ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous scenes for each month! I can never narrow my 'favorites' down but I love your selections.

Oh, my, these would make a wonderful calendar. I so love these...specially May and June. But I really love them all.
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful images, John, and certainly would make a wonderful calendar. Thanks for sharing them here.
ReplyDeleteWow - such gorgeous shots!
ReplyDeleteYour January shot is my favourite of the set.
ReplyDeleteA lovely dozen! Right now I hunger for color though they are all beautiful. July! I want crazy color everywhere on this cold bleak windy day.
ReplyDeleteAn excellent well chosen set of 12! I love the colours in the November image.
ReplyDeleteThis is the calendar I’d like to hang on a wall. Perfectly lovey!
ReplyDeleteYoko
Thank you for this calendar, the images are wonderfully well chosen
ReplyDeleteWonderful, wonderful pictures. I'm particularly fond of June. And I love December. Are the girls in August your family?
ReplyDeleteThat’s a nice variety of photos representative of each month for your calendar. There are apps for making calendars using one’s own photos and I’ve often thought of trying it.
ReplyDeleteHi John - late ... but I did enjoy them ... the snowdrops must be almost here in their swathes for 2020 ... cheers Hilary
