This isn’t exactly “a year in pictures”, but I thought it would be fun to go through my Flickr photostream for the past year and choose the 6 photos I liked best.
Here they are! Click on them to see the rest of the photos from that specific trip or day.
The sun setting behind the Alps
"Catullo's Caves" in Sirmione, Northern Italy
The harbor in Toscolano, on Lake Garda, Italy
The Arena, a beautiful Roman amphitheatre in Verona, Italy
Stella, ready for takeoff in our backyard in Zurich, Switzerland
A lovely spot in Cambridge, MA
And a honorable mention, from my favorite trip of the year, Spring Break in San Francisco:
The lagoon outside the palace of fine arts in San Francisco, CA
2009 was a good year

But I should see what else I might have that came out pretty, too.

I said to my husband “Come and look why we need to travel more.” His reply: “But we’ve been to most of these places.” So exasperating.
Lovely photos!

What a great idea for a post. I love all of them, but admit Stella as a witch is my favorite!
LOVE these, especially Stella witch.

Those are lovely. I’ve heard there’s opera in Verona in the summer, and I totally want to check it out. Does that make me a pretentious twit?

Oh those photos are gorgeous! Italy, ah Italy…
And even though I live in S.F. and pass by the Palace of Fine Arts quite frequently I never get sick of looking at it.

Beautiful photos. Thanks for sharing. I have to admit I just love the little witch!!!! The San Fran is beautiful; actually they are all beautiful. I just can’t pick.
Hello Elisa….Thank you for your lovely comment, and thank for calling in. Our of curiosity show did you find my blog? Great that you did though.
I love your photos, lovely choice to share
and strangely enough, even though I live in Oxfordshire, at the moment I am in Cambridge. I noticed you had a photo of Cambridge MA on there 
I love Switzerland, I was there in November, well staying with friends in France and went over there
PBS had Rick Steves in Switzerland, last night and…well…you could probably hear us both moaning and groaning from all the way in Jersey…and not in a sexy-sort of way, either.
“I WANT TO GO TO SWITZERLAND!”
The end.
