Okay, picking just one favorite was just too difficult so I decided to choose one Instagram from each month. Even that was hard. Apparently June was a good photo month.
But I did narrow it down and perhaps tomorrow I would decide on a completely different twelve. Heck by the time I get to the end of this posting they would also be a completely different set but for now, at 9 a.m. on this Wednesday morning on one of the last days of December, these are my favorites.
However, if I think of this in terms of the most meaningful image, the one from August would be it….my three-year-old granddaughter, at the time a Hurricane Harvey refugee at our home in Louisiana, praying in front of a lit candle for her mom and dad back in Houston, her mom trying to save the house and her dad working as a fireman, rescuing citizens from the rising waters. She and her brothers were worried about their parents so I had told them whenever they were feeling overwhelmed with emotion or worry they could go say a prayer for them in this place.
Every now and then the perfect image simply pops up in front of you without any manipulation at all.

I never get tired of looking at your photos. It has always been my favorite art form and you are now my favorite artist.
I told your story (of your project, your brave ritual of gifting your photos, and of our meeting this summer) at Christmas dinner in honor of my adopted 2nd Dad, Colonel Louis Ford.
Everyone enjoyed hearing about you and then we all reminisced about the Air Force life.
Happy New Year and I look forward to more and more of your work.

Happy New year to you Kathie and thanks so very much for the beautiful crystal window ornament! It’s up and catching sunlight as I write this! Have really enjoyed getting to know you this year and seeing you in person was a highlight of 2017.
I’m happy you were surrounded by people you love on Christmas. Even better that our connection spurred good conversation and memories.
Love to you on this first day of the new year!
