Some Favorite 2015 Shots from Out of the Jurisdiction

Last year I was away from Hartford and Naples much of the time.
It is pretty hard picking favorites from thousands of images, 

but here are some I remember fondly.

The Prato in Padua, visited in March, is Italy's biggest square and one of the biggest in Europe.

This iPhone photo in the Roman Forum on a rainy March day was a favorite.

I was in Duxbury, Massachusetts, for the Fourth of July celebrations.

I liked the ripples in the sand and the positions of the teenagers in this August Cape Cod sundown.

This image of Notre Dame in September is from a quiet garden across the Seine.

It is admittedly quite conventional, but I liked the peacefulness, compared with the noisy crowds

always found in front of the cathedral.

When I run across a photographer and model, I often try my hand, too, so long as I don't interfere with their work.  This Parisian model was in the Palais Royale in September.

This elephant munching palmettos was a favorite Botswana safari photograph from November.

And, out of 13 gazillion photographs of Willa, I particularly liked this November shot of 

Willa discovering her reflection in a mirror.
