I picked this one as my favorite because it is a beautiful scene of water, sky, mountains, bright colors, and point of interest with such clarity.

This one represents the beauty of the mountains and valleys of Colorado during our travels.

My wish for the new year is to meet more great and helpful friends like the ones on photoblog and our travels. Hopefully we will go back this summer to see more beautiful places.

May you all have love and peace within..
