2012 has been a pretty incredible year for us, and it's been a blast looking through the more than ten thousand photos we took and thinking about all that we've seen. I'm pretty sure I could have picked 12 photos from any one of the many photogenic places we visited, so as an added challenge, and to highlight the diversity of the things we saw, I decided to just pick one photo from each calendar ...
Our Top 10 Food Adventures from 2012!
Looking back over this year, I'm so excited by the places we've explored including two international trips to South America, shorter trips all over the U.S., and lots of time at my favorite place--home!

But the brightly colored hummingbirds of Ecuador are everywhere, and are a lot easier to get close to! To take these shots, ...
Pigeons Take Flight Over Bolívar Square, Bogotá, Colombia
Bolívar Square, the main public plaza in Bogotá, Colombia is filled with people throughout the day and is a magnet for vendors selling all kinds of snacks and sweets.
