The Best of 2017 & 11 photographs

Suzanne

The angsting moments where I try to make a decision about which ones I love and an explanation of why.  It was a hard decision as every photo is a favourite for one reason or more.

Now showing you all in no particular order.

  • Our first winter in France in the Northern Hemisphere, and we are turning another year older.  Celebrating that with a walk in the park, with something very French and decadent for lunch.                        One birthday, a walk in the park
  • This photo was taken while wandering around Amsterdam; we loved this city for more than one reason.                Amsterdam
  • Walking the dogs, just the two of us, with the other two out of sight.  In all conditions, it was good to be outside stretching our legs.  Of course, Nellie and Louie appreciate it even more!    Indeed, I was happy and going for the more posed smile look!  Did it work?            Dedicated followers
  • Spring in Switzerland, what a delight this experience was, and even more, was meeting a wonderful, caring family and, of course, Fudge.     Short and Sweet
  • With time off in between housesits saw us venturing into a few new countries and fabulous museums.  One, in particular, is worth more than one visit.                                                                                Rijksmuseum
  • With a return to the United Kingdom and a few more challenges, some welcome and some not so.  One that I enjoyed conquering was my dislike of heights, which is slowly waning, I am pleased to say.   Devon is an area and friends that hold a special place in our hearts                           A cuppa and a natter in Devon
  • When it is shining up in the North of England, she is a beauty, and heading up to North Yorkshire is always a pleasure.             Road trip to North Yorkshire
  • We have been very fortunate to housesit in Turkey and meet a couple who gave us a friendly, warm welcome, and now we call them friends, not forgetting their lovable family members.  Plus, a revisit is planned for 2018.     Neighbourhood walks – Dalyan
  • Last but not least is our visit to Toledo.  This was a city where we could have spent much longer wandering around with more lingering on a seat to absorb all that was going on now and in the past.                            City of Three Cultures – Toledo

Here’s to even more clicking of those shutters for us all in 2018.

  8. I’m surprised you could make a choice when you’ve shared so many great photos over the last few months. It was lovely to be reminded of some of your travels and the places you’ve visited. You make me realise that I need to get out more.

    Happy 2018.

    1. Thanks, April, believe me, I was in a state trying to make a quick decision then I decided not to over think it and pick 11. I look forward to reading about it when you do. Though your medieval posts are quite fascinating! Happy 2018 to you too.

  20. A beautiful selection of photographs, Suz – I can imagine how difficult and time consuming the choosing process was – and fantastic memories to join them. You had a very varied and adventurous year, discovering so many new places and now, the desire to return. 🙂

  22. Gorgeous cross section of photos from your travels Suzanne. I particularly loved the one in Amsterdam, but I’m sure many of the others bring back the ambience of the Occassion in your memories. Some of them look to be in such peaceful surrounds.
