2010 Photos!

I love browsing a year in photos! Here are some of my favorites from 2010. It seems more than half the photos are powerful images of something sad. There are also tons of sports images....so not my thing! I kept it light here for my blog so you will smile instead of cry!



This is a great candid of children dressed up at a parade in Sao Paulo, Brazil on February 14th. I love the smiles! (MAURICIO LIMA/AFP/Getty Images)

Lastly, I love, love, love the vibrant orange against the grey background! Such a great capture! These monks were celebrating Buddha's birthday on April 28th in Cambodia.

Happy New Year!
