I started this blog this past September with a goal of sharing my everyday scenes and random thoughts. I wasn’t sure if anyone would be interested in what I saw or had to say. I have been extremely happy with the direction that this blog has taken. I have loved meeting each and everyone of you and look forward to continuing to share my sights and sounds.
I thought now, since it’s too cold for any real good picture taking, that I’d reflect back on 2012 and share with you what I feel is the best of those three and a half months.

Most popular blog article: Photographing Cemeteries: Cool or Creepy?
I was really surprised by the response I received from this article. In fact, I received so many comments, that I had to close the comment section. I simply couldn’t keep up.
Has it only been since September? Wow. Beautiful as always.
Yes. 😉 thanks Ogee.
I really like Waldrue park! But they are all brilliant. 🙂
Thanks so much.
I love all of your work!
Thanks Leisa.
Nice meeting you too! It has been fun watching what you come up with next! One month for me and the time has been amazing!
Thanks Barbara.
Great photos! I especially like the one at Cox Arboretum with the bridge reflecting in the water. Gorgeous.
Thanks so much. 🙂 Can I join your beach bum gang?
A wonderful selection of photos. Isn’t it great when something you are not sure about, turns out really really well? Makes life so interesting.
Yes it is. Thanks Gallivanta.
Hi, pleasure to meet you! Your photography is beautiful and I look forward to seeing all your work. My first stop will be your Photographing Cemeteries post as you stated it was your most popular article. What a treat! From this post, The Dance, is very special in my opinion…such silence, such calmness.
Thanks so much. I am glad you like those. 🙂
Deeply impressive collection for such a short time. Your blog is an enormouse source of pleasure to the eye.
Thanks so much. 🙂 Glad I can bring pleasure.
I am a newbie to your blog and I love all of the images. They are a blessing whilst I lie on the sofa on a snowy Saturday morning contemplating ‘waking up’ 🙂 Thank you
Thanks Daffy.
You are an amazing photographer! Your pictures are always so incredibly beautiful.
Thanks so much. 🙂 .
Looks like a very good 2012 in pictures! well done!
Thanks Loana.
Thanks, Seth, for posting these “greatest hits.” You share your photos so freely and so often that I feel like I have gotten to know you as a person, (your likes and dislikes, what catches your eyes, etc.) rather than just an anonymous provider of visual stimulation and inspiration.
Thanks Mike. 🙂 I’ll have another round of bests out for Nov & December. Also, I am going to pick out my favorite stories from each your story.
Another great post Seth! Always a pleasure reading your latest!
Thanks so much. Hopefully, I can get out a little today and get a few new snaps.
fabulous as always Seth 🙂 x
Thanks. 🙂 .
u r one of the most magnificent photographer i have ever met 🙂
Thanks. That’s very kind of you.
they were true words 🙂
I love each and every one of those photos!!
Thanks Lisa.
Seth your beautiful photos and way of giving them such apt titles is always something I look forward to 🙂
Thanks… !
Wonderful post! Your photos are beautiful! 🙂
Thanks so much Jackie.
Probably many of us did not get to see them, so thank you for the review. The pictures certainly are all “best”!!
Thanks. :))
If you’re picking favorites, “Up Close Front Yard” has my vote…
Thanks. Glad you like that macro shot.
Reblogged this on Old School Garden.
As an urban dweller who would really rather being living in the trees, your photos always bring me home. Thank you. I adore the “Sun Comes Out on Ault Park,” and the “Ohio Bike Path” shot. But really, they are all nourishing and lovely.
thanks Matthew.
hmmm…for some reason I thought you had been doing this blog for a very long time? I began my posting to my blog the middle of October 2012, but not daily until November…so missed these…they are very different from what you are posting now…you certainly have a way with photography regardless of how you present the photo…love them and the Photographing Cemeteries was very cool!
Heather. Thanks. Maybe they are different because they are in the summer? Or maybe I’ve changed. 😉
Love your perspectives! And, the composition of the trail scene draws me in…beautiful.
Thanks. 🙂 I love that trail.
I am totally convinced that you could make any place look inviting and fascinating- great shots!
I don’t know about that but thanks.
You have such a refreshing view of the world around you! I certainly enjoy our walks and drives everyday! Thanks for sharing your world!
Thanks so much. 🙂 Hopefully there will be more to come.
Hi sethsnap! I let you a photo on my Site.I’ll hope you enjoy it..
Thanks Albert. 🙂 I did enjoy seeing your moon. Glad to see it was nice and full.
You are very creative. Your work is so very inspiring and brings life to life! I LOVE Waldrue Park. It says a lot about the power of trees and greens. Bravo (as we say in French!). 😉
Merci beaucoup. 🙂 It’s just a petite park but has a lot of character.
But the tree, it is so grand!
Yes very true;)
Magnificent captures Seth.
Thanks Mike W.
It’s interesting to see your favorites. You get to read about our favorites but we rarely ask you what’s yours. My eyes popped out of my socket when i clicked on the Cemeteries post. I never seen a post with THAT many responses. Wow. Maybe another cool and creepy photo set is in your future?
PS I will be catching up on your blog in the next few days. Been hibernating for the past week vegging out with tv or reading books. I have alot of catching up to do around wordpress lol.
Tasha. Yeah, it’s crazy. I am not sure why so many people like that. Hope you’ve been well and had a good hibernation. 🙂
Glad you have many favorites. It’s kind of hard to pick one or two.
Thanks David.
I’m an autumn girl … love everything about the autumn even the rain – lovely and beautiful photos – my pick has that be the country road. – Country on 10/3/2012 – just love the colors setting and the silhouettes in it.
Thanks so much Viveka. I’ll be posting some more with autumn colors from November and December soon.
Great idea – have loads of photos just sitting too …!
Love the “Up Close Front Yard”
Thank you Elizabeth.
I know it has been said before, your niece and those unbelievable blue eyes are stunning!
Thanks Diane. She’s my sweetie.
keep going, don’t stop!
I don’t plan on it. 🙂 Thanks for viewing. 🙂
Wow! Amazing! I love nature. Who’s that man, and that cute girl? Are they your family?
Andinho–where have you been? 😉 The man is Todd, my partner of 13 years and the little girl is my great niece.
Well, dear friend. Where have I been? I’ve been kinda busy. But I’m back and I will write sth ’bout Aang Lewis. So how are u doing? Wow, is he your partner? I wanna say that you both are a perfect couple… and I thought that that little girl was your baby.
A lot of color summed up in just one recap post. Wizard of Oz? (No, no guys with modern glasses in Oz.) 🙂
No, no wizard of oz. 🙂
Such beautiful pictures. Thank you for sharing them with us.
Thanks Su Leslie.
I think this is a great showcase as I have only been following your blog for a month – and now get to see what you think is the best. Great shots here – really like ‘Essence of Eden’
Thanks PJ.
Your cemetery post is great 😀 (I don’t blame you for closing the comments. Wow how did you find the time to answer 1388 comments?)
I kept up for a while and then I just couldnt. 🙂 Thanks.
I like all of your work, Seth!
Thanks Justine.
Welcome!
Welcome!
My favorites are Country and The Trail. Keep up the great work!
Thanks so much Barbara.
Awesome retrospective! I’m really glad that you decided to start blogging and that I found your blog — selfishly so, because it means I get to look at your amazing photographs!
Thanks so much. That is very kind of you to say.
Amazing snaps, Seth.
Thanks Buddy
Lovely! What a fun idea to let us revisit fall during winter. I especially like the composition of “Sun comes out in Ault Park” photo — how the flower and the sun shapes compliment each other.
Thanks so much jb. I’ll be doing Nov and Dec soon.
Hi Seth,
I so enjoyed being here and discovering the beauty of your world. You remind us that there is beauty talking to us. We just have to take the time to look,listen and yes, push that button.
Cheers!!
Thanks Barb.
