2019 Year in Review: Josh Friedman's Photographs

"No pessimist ever discovered the secret of the stars, or sailed to an uncharted land, or opened a new doorway for the human spirit."
-Hellen Keller

Happy New Year! As 2019 comes to an end, here are 56 of my favorite photographs from the past year, listed in chronological order. This is a larger batch of photographs than my usual "Year in Review", as I did not make any other posts during the year, despite many good intentions. One of my New Year's resolutions is to be a bit better in this regard! 

The majority of the following images are from various parts of Bucks County, Pennsylvania.  Also included are images from Italy, The Bahamas, Gettysburg National Military Park, Turks and Caicos, Charlotte, North Carolina, and a few other places.

I'm always curious to hear which are viewers favorite 4 or 5 photographs.  Feel free to post or comment.

Best wishes for a year filled with health, happiness, peace and contentment.
