This is Weekend Favorites post #52 – I’ve officially gone an entire year with this series, and didn’t skip a single week. That’s an accomplishment.
How do you feel about continuing on for another 52 weeks? Any suggestions for things you might like to see here other than Flickr Favorites and Links? Or maybe in addition to them?
I’m open to suggestion! It’s always nice to change things up a tiny bit.
This week’s photos almost make me love winter. (almost.) Take a look.
