I am grateful that in 2022 we were able to take not one but two fabulous cruises, enjoy a wonderful weekend with family attending our grandson’s high school graduation, and take a few short road trips. When we weren’t wandering we enjoyed being at home in Coastal Georgia.

Many thanks to John for the first Lens-Artists challenge of 2023. You can see his original post at Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #231 – Favorite Images of 2022.
Wonderful images Beth – it always amazes me how similar our environments are. I love capturing the marsh during a summer storm and your image of that is perfection, as is your beautiful spoonbill. Glad you were able to get away last year, but isn’t it nice to return home to such amazing nature?! Wishing you all the best in the New Year.

Tina, thank you! We are really not that far away from each other! I had forgotten about the summer storm photo until I started going through my photos for this post. Our trips were amazing but we actually spent a lot of time at home last year. I am so grateful to live in such a beautiful area.

Oh, that Magnolia was lovely. I do miss my Camellia from the old house. There was a hummingbird, and Chickadee that lived in it plus the beautiful blossoms.
Your Roseate Spoonbill!!! I long to see one someday.
Great selections for your 2022 favorites, BJ!

Thanks Nancy! Glad you like the spoonbill and flowers. I couldn’t believe how last nights game was so lopsided. Very excited for the back to back championships.

I love a look back at your year and your favorites. So nice to have travel back, isn’t it? We just took our first cruise ever over the holiday. It was fun. I love your “home” beach photos, but my favorite was the spoonbill. Happy New Year.

Thank you so much for your comments. I’m really glad you enjoyed the images and that coastal Georgia is on your mind. By the way, the whale was in Alaska during our inside passage cruise in August.
