Best of 2011 US Landscape Photos

I thought I would reflect on 2011 by posting my most memorable images of the year. All in all it has been a great year. I survived a knee surgery and months of difficult rehab as doctors didn’t think I would ever be able to straighten my leg completely (glad I proved them wrong), flew on 12 airplanes, racked up +25,000 miles of unpaved country road on my SUV, seen and explored some of the most amazing landscapes, and most importantly had my supportive husband by my side to share all the wonderful memories on my travels.

Thank you again everyone for all your continued support of my work. Below are my top 10 images for 2011.
