Oh! What a great idea!!!
I’m a “fall person” myself. It is my favourite time of year. I like all the seasons, and find something wonderful in all of them – but fall is my favourite!
I was actually just thinking about these pics… or rather the ones that you took of the train tracks a while back… and thinking that I wanted to do something like it this year. I always seem to take winter pics of the same views, so I think I need to see those places in the other seasons.
I think this is such a cool idea! Maybe one day I’ll remember to do it.
ooh! great idea! thanks for sharing and thanks for “leaving your mark” on my post, as it were. 😉
Wait, are your leaves already changing?!? Too soon!!!
Not yet! (I dread the end of summer; I’m still happy).
The fall pic was taken last fall. I recently finished up the set with the summer pic.
What an awesome idea! Do you frame and display them in your home? Also, after I saw the title of your post I immediately thought of the Jame Taylor song “You’ve Got a Friend.”
“Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall… all you’ve got to do is call and I’ll be there. You’ve got a friend.” Was that an intentional reference?
Thank you for sharing and inspiring, as always!
Given any thought to bring Perfect Moment Mondays back anytime soon? No pressure… Just curious. xoxo
wow, those are some pretty spectacular pictures of a year in your life.
Such a great idea!
I always take my daughter’s first day of school picture in the same spot. When she first started school she was taller than the tree she stood in front of. I was just thinking that I should do other pictures like that – same spot, etc. So this is what I must have been thinking of. Love it!
My favorite is the summer!
Very nice! This is a great idea. A couple of these look like they were shot in Kenya…
Absolutely love it! And I remember the previous series too.
Love this idea! And your photos are lovely!
wow- those are stunning!
Beautiful photos! Love 🙂
OMG, I absolutely LOVE these pictures. I really need to start doing this myself. What day/date do you take these?
The first year I did it on the solstices/equinoxes, but the past 2 years I’ve just chosen a quintessential day for that season.
Or whenever I remembered to do it 😉
