top photos :: 2019
As the calendar fades to the end of the year it's time for me to wander through the photos that I've published in 2019 to find my favorites. It's always an interesting exercise, one that takes time, one that changes day-to-day until I have made my final choices.
From the beginning of the year, here are my selections.
