Every year, Jim Goldstein invites his readers to his blog project. This is my third time participating in his project.
I’m proud to say that hundreds of photographers have participated (see Best Photos of 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008 and 2007). It’s great to see the photographers' community that has developed around this blog project.
I was more organised this year, but due to a job change, the breakage of my camera, and a new challenging chronic illness. I was not with a camera as often as I wanted. But this summer, I finally replaced my broken Nikon and decided to jump to the Fujifilm X interchangeable lens camera system.
Some images are from my iPhone, a Canon 5D Mk III that I borrowed from a friend until I bought my Fujifilm X-T2 a few months ago.
Bhavna and I realised that our kids are older (the last one turned 18 last month) and don’t need us to be just a few minutes from home. I convinced her to do something we both wanted: take a hot-air balloon ride. Many of the images are from the Finger Lakes area of New York.

Good stuff here; we too stayed at Penn landing so I could photo the New Jersey across the river. Funny, I also switched to Fuji last fall. Keep up the food work and all the best in 2019.
I was lucky to get that shot of Philly. It rained later that day and the next. The "Merry Christmas" image of the hummingbird is my favourite from your set. I see that you visited New York last year. Let me know when/if you make another trip. Maybe we can meetup, shoots some cityscapes and talk about photography.

I love all the scenery and falls in Ithaca. A beautiful part of the world.
Beautiful photos, Khürt!
Thank you, Susan. Happy Holidays.
