Congratulations, Walter, on an impressive selection of images. I didn’t count, but I think I might have been present when you captured more than half of them. I know that I am always focused more on capturing the next shot that I sometimes forget the previous ones and a retrospective like this one serves as a good reminder of the body of work over a year (or at least the highlights).

Thanks Mike! We were photowalking together when I shot 18 of the 28 photos, plus you collected one of the odonate exuviae that I photographed.
