Dec 31 My top 25 photos for 2018

Seriously, it's December 31st?!?!?!? Ok, how did that happen? Just yesterday was…well. Hmm. I guess the calendar is correct!

I’ve been writing this blog for a year and a half now, and really enjoy putting each piece together. If you’ve been following me, you probably can tell that the trip through Austria and Germany was something special - especially the photo project re-taking photos that my dad took 70+ years ago!

I love photography - we recently distributed our 2019 Earth Equity Advisors calendar which features my photography. It’s always a joy to hear from folks about which photo they enjoyed the most.

So, because I’m in a photo sort of mood, and because I like to end the year with some sort of list (in the past it has been gratitudes or observations) I’m going to present my 25 favorite photographs of 2018. They’re in no particular order - I hope you enjoy! (Please respect my copyright on each of them and do not re-use without permission)

Melissa and Marie Colton - Marie was the first female Speaker Pro Tempore of the NC House. She died shortly after this photo was taken.
