The Seasons of 2009




Just thought I would see the year out with a slideshow of the seasons. 2009, we'll miss you. :)

  1. Oh! Beautiful! Each picture struck a chord of familiarity. Great contrast between the brilliantly detailed flowers of each season, to the scenic-scapes, each capturing its respective season so well. Great compilation.

  5. Mary, that was a fabulous post. The slide show was a wonderous treat to start this day! And Eva Cassidy singing in the background made it all the more beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing and for your very awesome blog! Sincerely, Susan from writingstraightfromtheheart.blogspot.com

  7. Really nice slide, I love the music you have playing too. We live in a place where all 4 seasons are very defined and those who have moved away, say they really miss not experiencing each one. I know when it's really cold like it is now, I've thought maybe I could do without the cold! Then again it's a time for nesting and a change of pace! Have a great New Years Eve!
