This is my favorite photo of those I took in 2019. It's a picture of Sam York of the group Public Practice at a show in London. I took it with a Canon SX280 compact camera and think it was a lucky shot. I haven't done any editing or modifications, this is the photo straight from the memory stick.

This is a macro image of the inside of one of the glass paperweights my wife made. I've got a bunch of these photos and this one is one of my favorites. It was taken with a Minolta Dimage 7 with macro filters on the lens. This is a smaller jpg version of the file the original was a tif file.

This photo is my current favourite of the many thousands I've taken...

We were at the beach , where my husband was born and raised, and about 40 minutes from here , and had walked along.. away from the popular beach area and the crowds of sunbathers .. to where the cockle shell sheds, and fisherman's nets lay drying , and old boats lay , and there in front of us , dressed in the clothing ( don't ask me why)..of a Victorian urchin , in braces and flat cap , complete with old fashioned picnic hamper and old fashioned bike with a butchers' boy basket on the front, was a guy proposing to his girlfriend over a picnic.. .. ..how could I resist ?...it was just the cutest scene in the world... :giggle:

What a great shot! I'm generally not good at taking photos of people, even candidly.
 
This is a strange one for me that is a favorite because it was such a random scene. I used to take the train from San Jose to San Francisco to get to work and then walked about 20 minutes from the train station to work. Sometimes I'd come across something unusual that made me want to capture it.

While walking through Jessie Square on Mission Street I saw this stack of law books sitting there just as they are in my photo. They were working on the one of the lots to the side of the square and had a wonderful set of murals on the construction wall. I thought it was just an interesting set of things to be in one image. I took the photo on my iPhone SE.

Yep, in southern Ohio along the Ohio River. I think we (my brother and I) have figured out that the young man on the roof is in fact our dad. He would have been 13 or 14 at the time.

One of my Uncles has the original photo, but he is the youngest and wasn't born yet in 1937.

Very nice, great composition and lovely colors. There's an Iris garden/farm about 10 miles from where I live. I only found out about it last year when we went for Mother's Day. It was a little past prime viewing season then and I had hoped to get there in April this year. Hopefully next April we'll be able to visit them again.
