memories, dreams, and reflections

 I'm linking up with Ashley Sisk for a lovely end-of-year photo reflection.  With a bunch of fun prompts, it's a loverly way to look back on this past year.  I'm just going to be honest with you...And say that I did not try in the least to find new never-before-been-shared shots.  In fact, most were dug up from my Flickr Photostream, or at the most from my Picnik History.  Really, though, I think that just kind of adds to the whole "looking back on the past year" aspect of it all.  Or maybe that's just my excuse. ;)

1.Me!

A recent selfie...SOOC.

2.I Love You

This is Stephen.  My baby brother.  At Christmas.  Can you see why I love this guy?

3.Still Laughing...

I took this in March, during my trip to Rome, Italy, near the Colosseum.  This gladiator was, well, on break.  And, well...texting.  Totally cracks me up.  (I apologize for the grainy photo - yeep!)

4.Winter Wonderland

You can hardly tell it's snow, due the the texture and flowery-something, but I really love this photo.
5.Birthday

Megan at her 8th birthday in September.  Sweet gal!

6.Friends.

Megan and Scott from Virginia beach last summer.  We joked that they were "twins";)

7.I Was Inspired...

Blogging has inspired and challenged me so much this past year...in photography, my  Faith, my writing.  Love you guys!

8.Spring Fever

taken last spring.

9.Travel or Vacation

I took this on a recent visit to North Carolina.  I love the sunset and angle...and the plane wing.

10.Summer Days

11.A Day In My Life

This was so difficult for me to choose...finally, I just picked out a random photo of Stephen from what I remember to be an, um, "normal" day last summer;-) 

 12.All Smiles

Upon seeing the Cardinal Redbird at a baseball game last fall...

13.Autumn Harvest

14.Family

One of my favorite photos from Christmas.  (That's my dad and my uncle's fiance.)

15.Celebrate!

I stretched this.  A lot.  But, you know, it looks like some body (not sure if it was my brother's team or not) was about to...celebrate...a goal.  Anyone?

Whatever.

16.Let's Do It Again...

I loved our day bike riding at the beach last October.  Totally something we need to do again;)

17.I Miss You

My aunt and had so much fun together when we saw eachother this year (which was four or five times, I think?).  My mom took this at Thanksgiving - thanks Mom!

18.Beautiful

19.Dress Up

Me!  Not for Halloween, but for "In Disguise" from the October Photo Hunt.

20.Macro

I've shared this at least twice before, but it's definitely one of my favorite macros.

21.Holidays

Kirbus among our Christmas presents...So cute.

22.My Favorite

Bokeh and typewriters...two of my very favorite things.  I love this photo.

23.Don't Ever Change

Stephen, please don't grow up.  Ever.  The end.

Love,
Hannah

24.Just Because...So There!

Hmm...I could use some of this right now.  I love this picture of Kirby.

25.Hopes and Dreams

I have many, many hopes and dreams for the coming year...Improve my photography, hopefully start doing some photoshoots, open a shop on Esty, complete project 3.6.5. - me.  Just branch out...and grow, and bloom.
