before i begin, here’s a link to eireann’s beautiful 2009 post. she had the idea, and i decided to follow suit in my own way. i’m hoping some of you will join in as well. going back through my archives has been such a positive experience.
july
amisha visits vermont. we laughed and photographed and laughed and photographed. it was pretty much perfect.
a walk by the train tracks after a pizza dinner. the clouds + power lines added charm.
some quiet time at the raft after a stressful month
august
watching our busy hive and anticipating honey
visiting the pond daily
absorbing the duncan johnson exhibit in meriden, nh
september
san francisco (part one of our honeymoon)
meeting sheri (the image may be blurry but the memory is not). in case you don’t know, sheri and i are pretty much twins separated at birth. our husbands are pretty similar too. miss you, s!
big sur (part two of our honeymoon). so much magic there.
october
the beauty of a new england fall.
a perfect cup of hot chocolate on a sunday afternoon at burdick’s.
planting garlic by lamplight.
november
making wishes
woodsmen weekend with friends.
meeting hannah, walking to the raft in the dark, eating a lovely meal, telling stories. i remember feeling so different when i woke up the next morning. much more inspired. i call it huffspiration. ;)
december
city:country, a book i made with jen causey. this project is dear to my heart.
driving to the moose supper in a snowstorm. the pie table at the moose supper.
solitude
the art of seeing things 
this makes my heart happy :)
2009 was an awesome year for visits! hope 2010 is filled with them too. i miss you.

It seems from these images your year was full of many blessings and inspirations. I like how both collections end with solitude. I think this is a heart felt way to reflect on your year. I may try to join in after Christmas, as the new year approaches. Thanks for sharing with us Shari! {Perhaps it’s not a coincidence that your name practically spells sharing?}
My lord, your eye–it’s AMAZING.
And I love E’s idea and will have to do it myself.
What a clever thing, a good way to look back, a little more slowly.
i must do this. i love the notion of reflection, of finding the beauty in the midst of the spinning. and i love this time capsule of your year.
god that oct. foliage is beyond real.
someday we will have a walk around a pond in some state somewhere….
Thank you for sharing this, Shari.
I’m in an overly emotional state as it is right now, but these images have pushed me over the top in the best way possible. I got teary-eyed from taking in their beauty. Seriously. Thank you so much for sharing it with us.
shari this is so lovely. look how good reflecting on the past is! and yes, that night was so good for me too. i can’t wait to do this! this weekend!
what a lovely way to walk down memory lane. i wonder when you eat your garlic if you think of planting them by lantern light? :). thanks for sharing your bits of the year with us.
This is such charm from start to finish. I like seeing what moments you have selected to shine a light on. Beautiful.
a stunning year. thank you for your images shari.
wishing you all the best for these holidays.
