Welcome back to another Favourite Five list! I know I missed a couple of months there, but I promise I’m going to try to get back on track with these.

First up, I’m going to give you a run-down on a few things that are pretty close to my heart: my favourite five pictures from 2017–those that I posted, at least. There are plenty out there that other people took that I love, too, but today’s post is focused on my own pictures. I’m not sure I could go back and find all of the pictures I love that other people took.

So, with that, let’s take a look!

Let’s start with one of the few pictures I’ve shared that features people. I shared this one back in July 2017, after my family’s trip to a cabin in Minnesota. I still love everything about it–the colours, the way my brother and my sister-in-law are backlit, the moon…. Chances are, it’ll be one of my favourites for a long time.

We’re going to jump way ahead in time now, to a picture I shared in December. This was, of course, the topper on a Christmas present. My favourite part about this one? How well those sparkles came out. I honestly wasn’t sure if it was going to work.

How many people remember this little guy? If you didn’t see him when I posted his picture in August of 2017, you may have seen him around since then. He’s for sale over in my Print Shop, and I can’t help featuring him occasionally.

Apparently we’re getting into the pictures I made available over in my Shop, because this one (and the next one) is another one you’ll find there. I shared this poofy white flower way back in May 2017, and I’ve loved it ever since then. Hopefully you’ve enjoyed it as much as I have.

Finally, we have this pretty little thing, also posted in August of 2017. I don’t know about you, but I can easily pick out my favourite part of this picture: those dew drops on those pretty purple petals.
