A year of photos

Well, I could blog about how sick I am. This sickness is indeed epic. After a cold that turned into a brutal cough for weeks, I know have the flu... luckily, I've found one thing I can stomach -- jelly/jello peach things. so it looks like I will survive.

But enough of that. I'm creating a meme. Copy me if you like. Or not, then it won't be a meme though.

Favorite picture of each month of the last year.

Starting with January 2007.
Unfortunately, the only pictures I have from that month were from my phone...

Though the leaves are turning red and brown, the climate is so messed up that the cherry blossoms make an early showing. Nagatoro, Saitama.

I'm sure I'll take 200 more pictures in December... so I'm going to leave that slot open for now.

... and the adventures continue.
