I don't feel like doing a bunch of year-in-review posts this year, so instead I'll take just one photo from each month of the blog last year and try to sum up the (abridged) highlights of the month. It was a good year, but it felt like a transitional year, neither here nor there. I have no clue where 2012 will take me, but I feel positive about it and am looking forward to all the inevitable twists and turns it will offer up.
