LENS-ARTISTS CHALLENGE #188 – A Special Place

Karina of Murtagh’s Meadow leads.

“There are places I’ll remember
All my life though some have changed
Some forever, not for better
Some have gone and some remain

All these places have their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life I’ve loved them all”

“In My Life” is a song by The Beatles written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney. (Per genius.com)

It has been VERY frosty in Colorado since winter finally arrived, but these memorable photos give me a warm and fuzzy.

Have a good year.
