My iPhone Time Machine

 Today is a day of reflection.  

This week, several famous people of my youth or early adulthood died, including Pele and Barbara Walters.  Pope Emeritus Benedict also died, along with a grandson of music legend Bob Marley.  It's dreary out today (although it's also mild).   Sickness is everywhere.  Although my spouse and I have dodged it (so far) my son caught "something".  He's better now. 

When I bought a new iPhone earlier this month, I transferred my thousands of photos to the new phone (why?  who knows) and I was able to bring up "2022" and relive some of the highlights of this interesting year.

Time seems to speed up the longer I live and I just want to yell "Stop!  Freeze!"

Photos allow you to do that, in a way.

The year almost always begins in my part of New York State in a frozen world, and if it doesn't, it happens soon enough.

But finally, the world comes alive with flowers once more.

Spring arrives.

It's time to get out and travel.  Here, June 14 along the Erie Canal in Macedon, New York.

But the warm season speeds by, and before you know it, it's harvest time.

The trees turn color.

The holiday season arrives.

And before you know it....(December 29)

So here we are.  I can't end a 2022 post without this picture, though.

May we all have a better 2023.

And thank you to my readers - I appreciate you all!

"See" you in 2023.
