13,020 photos in 2013 and they weren’t all of cats and Winter again!
It wasn’t my most creative year. I did get about halfway through the year doing daily photos of things other than Winter. I got a nifty 50 (50mm prime) lens in January and I don’t think I took it off the DSLR more than three times during the year.
Of course, a lot of my photos came from my iPhone 4s last year. It’s always at hand and far more portable when also juggling a toddler. 2014 will see slightly improved iPhone photos since I’ve upgraded to a 5s. (I was hoping to get more than 2.25 years out of it, but the battery life was just shot on the old one.)
I should do one of these reviews for the cats too… Maybe I’ll let Monster Cat pick the photos. ;)
January: One of my tangled messes of Viking accessories.
February: A bright, winter sky.
March: A surprise, late-March snow.
April: Cherry blossoms at Sakura Sunday.
May: Columbine in my garden.
June: Strawberries from my garden.
July: Roots at Cooper’s Lake Campground.
August: Grape vines on the ruins.
September: Tasty hot cocoa.
October: Autumn in Maine.
November: My car apparently found some mud without me.
December: A happy, indoor tree watches the snow on the outdoor tree.

Once again, I think I will decline to get a count of just how many photos I took of Miss Winter this year. It’s just better for all of us. Trust me. There were a lot of photos though.
It thought there were vast changes during 2012. The changes in 2013 were even huger. Huger.
She’s never been quiet, but she’s gone from baby-talking to serious intent to converse (or order you around) with actual words this year. This child has a full and complete personality. She’s hilarious. She’s dramatic. She’s an utter goofball.
Her grins are awesome.
Her laugh is infectious.
Her bedhead is epic.
She’s also very good at being 2. She’s stubborn. She has selective hearing. Her moods are mercurial. Her default answer is “no,” even if it’s followed up by “mine” to indicate that she does indeed want whatever you’re offering. She grumpily finished getting in all her teeth this year too… so at least we’re done with teething.
And all of this is utterly delightful.
January: At the piano being loud.
February: She’s a big fan of the pretzels from the Amish market.
March: She’s incredibly expressive and you MUST listen to her stories.
April: We finally made it to Sakura Sunday. She had Japanese sweets while chilling in the stroller.
May: Playing in the rain is the best.
June: Her frog boots were such a favorite I’ve ordered the next size for this year.
July: At Pennsic, playing with rocks and charming strangers with her cuteness.
August: Serious fun with an umbrella!
September: Feeding the goats at the Linvilla petting zoo.
October: She is very serious about romancing that lollipop.
November: She’s already stealing my accessories – totally my hat and scarf.
December: Watching the deer in the side yard.
