I've said this each year I've done it, but this time I really mean it: This was by far the toughest year of photos to narrow down into a single post.
I started with 17,676 ... Yes, that's a real number. I searched through those, going month by month, on my computer and dragged 166 into a folder for this post. I narrowed that 166 down to 68, but that's where I got stuck.
It's not that I think I have 68 world-class options making the decision so difficult. It's more that there are so many memories and moments I attach myself to and I have the most terrible time in choosing how to eliminate them.
