2023 was a prolific year for me.  I made a lot of photographs during our six months on the road in the western states and continued my local projects, especially in the Anacortes Community Forest Lands.  So, by the end of the year, I had added about 15,000 images to my Lightroom Catalog.  As I've done for many years, I started the selection process this past January.  With so many images, it took far longer than in previous years, and the process was interrupted by two long photography trips in early 2024.  I limited myself to 32 images, which proved difficult. I compiled quite a few iterations of those 32 images and finally realized that this process could go on forever.  So, I drew a proverbial line in the sand and present my "final answer" below.
