Every Day is a Gift!
Our host Donna has challenged us to search for messages in our photography
Wandering Dawgs is on a winter getaway this week. Can you guess where we are based on these messages?.
If you haven’t guessed where we are, never fear. The answer will be in a future post.
Many thanks to Donna of Wind Kisses for her challenge Lens-Artists Challenge #234 – Messages
Anne of Slow Shutter Speed has asked us to choose a lens and go for a walk.
I grabbed my camera and 18-55mm lens and went for for a walk on the nearly deserted beach at the North End of Tybee Island, Georgia. I managed to time my walk between rain showers on a dreary, overcast January Sunday afternoon.
I kept my shoes on for my walk. It was wonderful to walk on the sand and to hear the ocean waves. Any day at the beach is a good day.

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.
Tina’s challenge is to include some of our favorite images of 2022. We can include images on any and all subjects that are personal favorites – BUT, they must have been created in 2022 AND must not have been previously published in response to a Lens-Artists Challenge!
Going through this years photos brought back many happy memories. The header image is from my favorite event of the year. The weekend of our grandson’s high school graduation in May was a wonderful, emotional, and happy family time. We are proud grandparents!
January started out with a fabulous Caribbean cruise. This photo reminds me of the tropical places we visited.
In March we spent a fun weekend in Athens, Georgia for Henry’s college fraternity reunion. Spring flowers were blooming as we walked around old campus. There is a tradition at Georgia to ring the Chapel Bell all night when the Georgia Bulldogs win a football game. The bell has rung 13 times so far this season.
We made several trips to our favorite place in middle Georgia this year. This white tail fawn was one of many young deer we saw.
For the second year in a row I celebrated my birthday with lunch at Animal Kingdom Lodge at Disney World.
In August we cruised through Alaska and the inside passage. Here are two of my favorite wildlife images from the trip.
The waves were huge as we waited and watched to see where Hurricane Ian was going to land.
The December sunrises were gorgeous.
Wishing you peace, joy and happiness this holiday season.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all.
Many thanks to Tina for her challenge Lens-Artists Challenge #230 – Last Chance
Our latest photo challenges comes from Patti who asks us to “explore diagonals as a way to add visual interest and depth to your photos.”
I chose a few images from around Coastal Georgia.
