Time to show my favorite photos of 2012. I tried not to just pick ones with natural beauty, but those that had some intrinsic artistic quality. I couldn't narrow these down to a manageable number for one post, so watch for Part Two for the remainder. They are in no particular order. Let me know your favorites!
[Edit - Sorry to those that left comments on this blog post earlier (Penobscot Paddles, Linda W., Jeff F.), I accidentally deleted the post while creating Part Two, so I had to reproduce it here and I lost your comments... my apologies).
