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
love him ♥

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

3.Still Laughing...
a shot from roma...
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
snow and texture

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

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

17.I Miss You

  2. These pictures were so much fun and in most cases, they were brand new to me so I loved looking through them as a collection. I can't wait to see more in 2011.
