Terri’s Sunday Stills: What did YOU do in #2022
I intended to do a selection of YOUR favourite photos over the year. Graham from Hawaii had a great idea so I am going to steal his idea for my 2022 wrap up. Grab a photo from a post and add the post link in case you would like to see more of what is in that post.
It appears my home page and my photo challenge, Last on the Card, are the two most popular pages on my blog every month. So I have selected the most popular post for the month. Let me know if your favourite photo appears.
JANUARY
As seen in My last post for 2021

The Seagull was part of Finding Gold
MARCH
In the Peaceful evening post
APRIL
A selection of wet fluffy birds in After the bath but these three little Thornbills stole hearts
MAY

JUNE

Last on the card – August 2022
Last Photo for August 2022
How wonderful to have thirty-six people show us their last photos for July. There was one hundred and ninety-four views, with sixty-eight likes and many thanks to those thirty-six people who contributed their good and not so good photos.
Like a lot of people I forget and am surprised at what was the last photo on the four devices I use to take photos. I went from –
- you wonder why
- to an accidental image
- getting ready for a post
- to careful framing would be better
So let’s see what you have for August 2022. There isn’t a time limit so you can post your last photos anytime. The last photo for the month will always be the last photo
The rules are simple:
1. Post the last photo on your SD card or last photo on your phone for the 31st August.
2. No editing – who cares if it is out of focus, not framed as you would like or the subject matter didn’t cooperate.
3. You don’t have to have any explanations, just the photo will do
4. Create a Pingback to this post or link in the comments
5. Tag “The Last Photo”
Here’s mine
From my Samsung Galaxy S9
From my Canon PowerShot A1200
From my Canon PowerShot SX70HS
From my Canon EOS 1300D

Tonight is the Winter Solstice
Terri’s Sunday Stills: A Wildflower #Solstice
The fire was lit
to celebrate
the Winter Solstice
the warming glow
smoke drifting
into the trees
The sun was setting
casting a stillness
over the bush
birds at roost
silence
only broken by
sounds of cars
in the distance
on the highway
heading home
from working in town
A car drives
down my road
the crunch of gravel
another coming
home for dinner
Here’s cheers
to the Winter Solstice
a wine and snacks
crackers
cheese
olives
sopressa
the warmth of
the fire
The sky darkens
the bush is quiet
all are home
the faint sound
music from
down the road
the faint reverse beeping
of the final
truck to
leave the quarry
silence at last
darkness decends
The final embers
the final glow
of a winters day
Winter Solstice
goodbye my friend
until next year
when a fire
will be lit
to celebrate
the Winter Solstice
