I'm trying to choose a "Photo of the Year" (POTY) for
City Daily Photo's upcoming theme day. Some bloggers are using the photo that got the most hits. Let's see what I come up with if I use that method.
Mission Style Lamp got the most hits. I'm not going to select this as POTY because it's not typical of my blog and I think people are getting there accidentally while shopping for a lamp.
Also popular but not typical posts are
Shadow Shot in Black and White and
Macro with Red Background. Both are abstracts; I like them but I don't know why they drew viewers to the blog.
Next we have
Artifacts from the Battle of Cool Spring. This post reflects my interest in Civil War history but the photos aren't that great. I assume viewers found this post by searching for information on this battle.
Finally we come to a couple of posts that are aligned with the "Shenandoah" theme of this blog and have pretty scenes.
The View from Stony Man Overlook has several photos taken from Skyline Drive. (Click on them to see larger versions.)
Also from the mountains we have
Skyline Drive on a Cold Evening. I'm leaning toward one of these for my picture of the year. What do you think?
Your comments are appreciated!
Last Saturday we entertained our house guest by taking her sightseeing in Rockingham County. We visited the Shops at Dayton and nearby Bridgewater. Then we made a stop at Silver Lake, where the late day sky was reflected in the water across from the mill.
On Tuesday the weather was nice and we had to run errands in Front Royal, so we decided to take a walk by the river. But first my husband wanted a cheeseburger so we got one at Wendy's (where senior citizens get a free beverage) and parked across the street so he could eat it. There's a park next to the town's stadium. As you can see by the sign, it was named for the singer/actor Bing Crosby. Mr. Crosby donated funds towards building it back in the 50's. 
It's January 1st and the deadline at City Daily Photo is fast approaching and I need to choose my photo of the year for 2014. But before I do, I want to share a few more candidates in addition to the ones I showed at the end of December. We're starting with another view from Skyline Drive since many readers commented on how they liked the Skyline overlook photos I posted previously.
I'm still trying to pick a Photo of the Year. I thought it was only fair to consider some squirrel photographs so here are some of my 2014 posts.
It's been a long time since we saw gas selling for under $2 a gallon in Virginia. Affordable gas is good news for consumers. (I realize it's not good for some business interests, but for families on a budget, it's very helpful.)
