2025: A Recap of My Year in Photos

by

Hard to believe it’s been five years since I published a recap of my year in photos.

While many folks rely on Instagram or something similar to share their yearly photo recap, I’m a firm believer in owning your content.

Each of the 12 photos link to my blog post describing more information and details about the photo.

A brown mailbox decorated with a white label written in black script to Santa Claus at Santa Workshop in the North Pole. The mailbox is decorated with white and red poinsettiias, green holly leaves, as well as a green Christmas Tree postage stamp with a date of Dec 25th. The mailbox is open and the red, white, and green striped lid is filled with festive red and white foiled chocolate candy kisses that look like fuzzy red Santa hats with white fur on the edge.
