Each year, I make a selection of my favorite 10 images. It's not always an easy process and I'm sure the selection would look different if I went through the same exercise tomorrow. But, it's kind of fun.

This collection includes photos through December 1st, so it excludes the photos from my most recent trip to New Mexico.

Here are my favorites, in no particular order:

Happy New Year!
