my favourites on your blog, or mine?
ReplyDeleteone of my very favourites was meeting you and your beautiful kids!
My favourite blogs of yours are the 100% honest ones, the ones with no rainbows and magic :)
And I LOVED A's party last year!!!
Marcia, your favorite anything of the list above, or my posts or yours. I love that you love my honest ones.
DeleteGreat list! Loved the music videos...
ReplyDeleteFun post! I'm a huge Adele fan, as well. I ate more than my share of hummus this year. I just finished "the glass castle" last week. LOved it! Loved your favorite pics. The stairway one especially.
ReplyDeleteOoooh I LOVED this post! I think I may follow suit!! :-)
ReplyDeleteOh please do - I would love that.
DeleteWhat a great idea to sum of your favourites from 2011. I love the last pic taken in the Light Tower!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great list! Thanks for sharing. I really enjoyed your fav. pictures of 2011. How did you narrow them down, you've taken so many!
ReplyDeleteI made a list of the ones I could remember without going back into my directory of 2011 because I do believe your best ones stick in the back of your mind.I had 14 on the list and then I went back and narrowed those down to my best 5
DeleteI love the photo of the foot hanging out of the hammock and the staircase in the light house!
ReplyDeleteFun post to read. Have to agree with you on your favourite gadget :)
ReplyDeleteThe last pic is amazing!
Stunning photos!
ReplyDeleteI think I did a post like this in that last week. It was done in a hurry and I thought of so many things after I had published. Maybe I'll do a part 2?
ReplyDeleteOh, and I saw Elvis Blue on NYE at Kirstenbosch. He was BRILLIANT. He sang the Hallelujah. I got goosebumps. I CRIED. It was so, so moving.
