As the year comes to a close it is always nice to to reflect on and review images I have made during the year. I was very blessed this year with many photographic trips and opportunities, foremost being the amazing experience I had in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Spurred on by Jim Goldstein’s call to photographers to submit a ” top 10 best list” for a blog project, I have been scouring my files to narrow it down. Trust me this is not easy as I have added several hundred images to my worthy of printing category, and I seem to have an attachment to all of them. So here is what I came up with in no particular order. Every one of them spoke to me. Some I have blogged about during the year and some are new ones you have not seen. I hope you enjoy them!
