Lens Artists Photo Challenge #379 – Favorite Images of 2025

Posted in Birds, Nature, PhotographyTagged , ,

Happy New Year!

Once again the Lens-Artists team is starting the new year by asking our followers to share their favorite images of 2025. Your images can be from a previous post or ones you’ve never shared before but they must have been taken in 2025. There is no single host for this challenge. The entire team is sharing the challenge.

In 2025 we went on a Mississippi River cruise, took a few short road trips, and had fun in New Mexico at my nephew’s wedding. When we weren’t wandering we enjoyed being at home in Coastal Georgia. Here are a few of my favorite images from the year.

January

The year began with a rare coastal Georgia snow storm. The featured image of a cardinal in the snow is one my favorites from the year. Later in the month we made a short trip to Jekyll Island.

  2. An amazing set for the challenge Beth – many favorites, including the little cardinal in the snow, the beautiful azaleas, the shrimp boats and the little anole. But they are all wonderful and so reminiscent for me of our low country here in South Carolina. A terrific set of images from an obviously bountiful year!

  4. A wonderful selection with some great travel shots, Beth. I love that New Orleans Bridges view with the lights of the Mardi Gras. On our journey to Jekyll Island, we saw that bridge from the island, but we didn’t get to cross it. Your image is much more detailed than mine!
