My year 2025 in photography

in Photo-essay4 days ago

So at the begining of this year i came back to hive , last year we moved from Nijmegen to Hooglanderveen in Holland.

This year was full of hospital visits , it started with my wife being hopitalised for pneumonia in Januari and myself got hospitalised in August for appendicitis and an old tumor got removed , and this month my wife had her catarct surgery done .

In April we got involved in a road accident and that got our car total loss.

But hey we are still here , and I even started to do some curating work for Ecency and moderating in the discord servers , and we managed to start a Hive witness server .

but enough of all that time to show my year in photography instead .

First post this year was in Black and white with Jinx our cat

The second post was about a morning sunrise when i brought my wife to work , her eye sight was already that bad that she couldn't drive the car safely to work anymore .

my third post was another black and white post

And another cold morning bringing the wife to work

and then we get the spring time with all the fresh green

and spring flowers like the orange azalea

It seems to have been a year of many things, some good and some difficult, but you have come through the latter and enjoyed the former. Above all, congratulations on being a witness at Hive!

But I must tell you that although all your pictures are absolutely wonderful it's Jinx who will always take the top prize, just because of her charisma and that precious little face she looks at so intently. The morning with the streetlights and the fog is another one of my favourites. It's always hard to choose, you are excellent at this as with that poppy picture and the ones where you were practising with the new lens. Great job!!! I wish you a very happy year, one full of good times, progress and success. A big hug!!!

Thank you and maybe in April we meet in Alicante , still not sure if i will make that trip because it's a lot of money just to meet some people for 3 days .

I can't travel at the moment, maybe later, due to complicated economic and family situations. I hope you have a great year with lots of health!

They are on that path. Beginnings are hard, changing countries is hard and sometimes it takes time. Thank you very much!

I am so sorry about the accident, but I am glad we all survived to see 2026

accidents happen and then we move on , best wishes for 2026 ;)

So sorry for all your troubles. It's been a very challenging year for you, yet, you pulled through with consistency and determination. Congratulations!🎉

Wishing you the very best of 2026.

Happy New Year, in advance

Thank you Ivyann , the best wishes and a happy new year for you and your family :)

Very nice day and happy new year's eve party to you and your family.
There are years and times that are hard, but those times help us to strengthen our spirit and our life, giving us temperance and wisdom, because no matter how hard the experience is, it always leaves us a teaching.
I already saw for you as a witness, I hope you grow more quickly.
Happy new year 2026.

With all the life challenges you continue to push. Wow, Weldon Weldon, better days ahead. Please continue to remain strong and consistent. 2026 will definitely be better, I promise you. And have it in mind that you just inspired me.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

well we always say it can always be worse , and then move on to the next challenge .

That's a good spirit, and I guess that saying has kept you going all these while.

It seems that you have taken a lot of blow in 2025, I believe 2026 will bring more smile and fun to you and your wife. ;)
