Twelve from 2018
A selection of images from this year:
Cataract Trail
5. Crystal feathers or ferns
This year I rediscovered beach scenes – it’s been a long time since I’ve photographed them. Muir Beach and Rodeo Beach were eye opening (and very foggy, as was my visit to the oaks in Helen Putnam Park). It was a good year for finding beautiful flowers, but not so for insects. As the year winds to a close, I’m wishing for colder weather and new frost discoveries. Thanks for all of your thoughts, comments, and likes – have a happy holiday season.

Merry Christmas, Tom! You had a good year! Wishing you good health, joy and prosperity in the new year!
Merry Christmas to you, Tracy- and best wishes for the new year.
An excellent annual collection, as always. The crystalline images are especially appealing to someone in a land with hardly any ice and snow.
Thanks, Steve. I’m impatient for colder weather and more ice crystal opportunities…
Beautiful set Tom, love that huge oak! Wishing you a creative 2019!
Thanks for the kind words, Mark – best wishes to you in 2019 as well.

Thanks, and best wishes to you in 2019.

Nice that some of my favorites made your Twelve. We do have colder and frostier, but little snow.
Best wishes for 2019. 🙂

Awesome collection and happy new year 🙂
Great collection for the year. Your macro work is always fantastic, but I also like seeing some of the wider scenes, especially Rodeo Beach and Under an Oak. I hope you have a great 2019.
Thanks, Todd! I really enjoyed doing those landscapes last year.
Spectacular collection. You had a good 2018! I’m late to the party but enjoying looking through your images, Tom.
