THURSDAY’S SPECIAL: YOUR BEST PHOTO IN 2017

For the last Thursday’s Special in 2017 I am offering you a challenge that IS NOT, and yet it might be the most challenging one so far 😀 

I would like you to post again what you consider to be your best shot posted this year.

The end of this year has been a bit more stressful than usual for me, but I am hopeful that things will get better eventually. I would like to thank all my friends here for constant support and positive wishes. 

Love and best wishes for 2018!

        No problem. I did not make any updates since it was published at night. Maybe it wasn’t shown on the phone if it was checked out on a phone :I.

    I absolutely love the this shot, Paula. I was hoping for Traces of the Past but sometimes it’s easier to go with the flow. Thanks for the good wishes. Sending you a monster hug with hopes for better health next year xxx

    My best shot was the one that got away: late evening light on a row of houses reflected in the lake from my brother’s deck. I saw it, I loved it, I lost it. However, I can always enjoy the superior exquisiteness of your photo and feel nourished. Best of good wishes for you and your people in 2018 – good health, energy and peacefulness, and anything else you want to add. Say hello to Zagreb for me.

    That was really a hard one, Paula. As I wrote in my post: my pick tonight might be different from my pick tomorrow. But I picked one. Your photo of Rovinj, that play of light, is quite stunning – if I didn’t say it then I am doing so now. I hope you have a great start for the new year.

  14. 2017 Favourite: Thursday’s Special | Reflections and Nightmares- Irene A Waters (writer and memoirist)

    […] Paula has asked for the last Thursday’s Special of the year,  the best photo you have posted in 2017. I tried to do this for WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge and found that I had more favourite photos so dividing them into skies and water, nature, family, and just because I culled them as far as I thought I could go. To see these go here. For Paula I am posting a photo of Noosa with the elements I love – blue sky, water and vegetation. The only things missing are my dogs. Thank you Paula for hosting Thursday’s Special – it is a challenge I enjoy immensely. […]

    A lovely image Paula and I too wish you a less stressful year ahead. Hard for me to choose a favourite, so I have gone with an image which means such a lot to me emotionally. And one which reminds me that we should never, ever take life for granted. xx
