RRC: Goodbye To 2012
2012! What a year! Personally speaking, I had more happiness, and adventure and triumph than in any year that I can remember, but it was not without it's sorrows and frustrations as well. Mostly, I appreciated the year and I am happy to be healthy, and happy. I am especially grateful for Alan and my fur babies. We are a family and there is a lot of love in our little cottage!
Now, onto those moments, that made a year!

Moments Filled With Saying Goodbye And Hello
Saying goodbye to one of our favorite restaurants. A place Alan and I frequented our whole lives.
Goodbye Bancheros...

And it came time to say goodbye to my car Lilith...
But I said hello to my new car Carl...
Moments Spent In The Garden With Alan. Roses And Tomatoes Were The Thing...
Hot Cocoa Roses
Mr. Stripey Heirloom Tomatoes
Black Krim Heirloom Tomatoes
Moments Of Lovely Serendipity
Finding The Famous Parrots Of San Francisco...
And A Double Rainbow Over The Ferry Building And The Oakland/San Francisco Bay Bridge
Enjoying and appreciating the beauty of the California coastline.
And finally the biggest moment of all, taking an aerial tour of the San Francisco Bay in a single engine Cessna. I always said I would never do it. Not in a single engine plane at least, but I enjoyed it so much. No fear. Just an amazing view of the city I love. Happiness beyond measure.

All of the photos in this series were taken in the second half of 2012. I did almost no photography during the first half of the year due to illness. It's wonderful to be back taking photos every day again!
That was my 2012 in pictures. If you would like to share your own photo essay of 2012 I know Karen would be happy to have you join in.

Pepper is currently eating very well and behaving much more like her old self. She may yet turn out to have cancer, but she is nevertheless doing much better!
Happy New Year, my friend!
