My Favorites From 2017

My Favorites From 2017

2017 in Review

Holy cow! 2017! Its gone, fini, kaput. The older I get the faster time flies. Does anyone else feel that way? I’m really not a conspiracy theorist, but I am pretty sure several minutes are being taken out of each hour when I’m not looking.

As I reflect on this past year, I realize just how fortunate I’ve been. Travels took me back to Vietnam and much of Southeast Asia. Also, Costa Rica. Here are some of my favorites; this time in black and white.

You can view some of my other favorites here and some totally new work for me here. And while I have you clicking around, please like my Facebook page. Thanks.

“Desperado,” above, was taken on an old film set near my home.

  1. Wonderful compositions, Ron. And I’m with you on the matter of minute-snatching. Sometimes I think whole hours and days get nicked. But all the very best to you for this year. Perhaps we can get some of that lost time back 🙂

    1. Thanks, Trish. Here’s to finding some of that lost time this year.

  2. Not only is someone stealing time from me but his friend is stealing some inches and I’m slowly losing height!
    Great pictures, as always, and the reflections in the water at Sarasota are wonderful.

    1. No one ever said getting older is getting any easier. 🙂 Thanks for commenbting.
