As well as starting this blog a year ago, in the same week, I also began a photo a day challenge #fmsphotoaday.

Each day I have posted a photo relating to a given word prompt, although not every photo was taken on the exact day. But it has become a good discipline and is a wonderful photo diary of the past year.

I tried to select one favourite photo from each of the twelve months, but I couldn’t narrow it down to just one per month, so here are two photos from each month, with the relevant prompt.
