ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, John! 🪅
ReplyDeleteWonderful music box.
ReplyDeleteNice to see the photos from past years.
Wishing you and your family a happy and healthy New Year.
Your first picture says "Green Lake - January 24, 2023", John. Now that's impossible! All the very best for 2023. I hope it's a great year for you. David
ReplyDeleteIt was impossible! Thanks for the heads up!
DeleteHello John
ReplyDeleteWhere did 2022 go? It zoomed by ...
New Years Eve in our part of the UK has been very wet.
We had family visit us earlier which was very enjoyable.
Did enjoy the music box, I was singing along to it :)
Both Eddie and I wish you a happy and healthy 2023.
Good wishes.
All the best Jan
Awesome photos of your area. I enjoy following your blog. Happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteA lovely set from the year. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteHAPPY NEW YEAR to you JOHN - may 2023 be the best!
ReplyDeleteHello John and Happy New Year!,
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos, beautiful view of the Green Lake . Pretty view of the purple Space Needle. Cute capture of the Mallards. You do have lovely views on your morning walk. I loved the music box too. Great post to end the year. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. I wish you all the best in 2023, a happy and healthy New Year! PS, thank you for all your comments and links this past year.
I always enjoy seeing you pop up in my news feed, John. And thanks for the decade-old photos. It's reassuring to see how little has actually changed from your viewpoint in a decade. Sending you lots of love from rainy Bellingham! :-)
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely collection of photos, John. I especially liked the short video about the cold morning on Green Lake. It looks so beautiful, and I bet it was nice to get back in the warmth after that cold walk. I wish you many beautiful walks in 2023 and all the best!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
ReplyDelete'Auld Lang Syne' on the Music Box video is the perfect touch! Always delightful to see your pictures and apropos comments. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, John. Wishing you a year filled with good health and lovely new adventures around your beautiful city.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind response to my blog "moments frozen in time". It meant a lot to me. I wish you all the best, living in God's presence and seeing each day as a grace-filled time given to you by Him. In all uncertainty, He is our solid Rock, on which we build.
ReplyDeleteIt's really nice to see old photos. I love the photos of the coast and the ships on your blog every time. And then I think of my ancestors. They sailed on the inland waterways of the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany. That's all over now. No more skippers in the family. But when I see your photos, I sometimes think back to those times. I hope to continue following you, John. You always write varied blogs. There's something fun for everyone to find.
Happy new year 🎉
ReplyDeleteI think I missed this post last week so I'm happy to read it this morning. It's fun to look back and see photos from the walks we made a few years ago. You see some amazing sights there! Happy weekend and Happy New year my friend!
ReplyDeleteembroidery to your new garment! Seeing all those marvelous roses reminded me of seeing the incredible hedges of roses (taller than my 5'9") in England. I've never seen anything like it here in Canada and I still remember the scent.
ReplyDeleteHappy new year dear John!
ReplyDeleteWishing you a glorious new year full of love ,health peace and happiness and prosperity amen!
