It’s always so hard to pick favourite photos, but here are 12 favourite shots from 2025.
And now let’s step forward into the new year – wishing you all a happy, healthy and fun 2026.












Now over to all of you. Do come and join us in our Saturday six-word musings.
I’ll admit that many of us openly break the numeric rule and share far more words (all excellent of course!) so the key rule is to have a title of six words – and then create around that the post that you desire! Perhaps in bunches of 6 words if you’re feeling inspired.
To join the challenge, please put a link in your post to the URL of this post. Then come back here and leave us a comment. If you have any problems with linking, just put your own URL into the comment. And do feel free to socialise digitally with the hashtags #SixWordSaturday and #6WS. You’ll find me on Instagram @travel_travel_with_intent and @dsmythphoto

wonderful choices, Debbie and it must have been a hard decision to narrow it down to 12

Hard to pick favourites indeed, but these are all excellent. However the B&W shot of the boy by the gate in Havana really caught my eye.

Thanks, Sarah. I had met him in that apartment block and he was standing looking down through that broken window when I got outside.

How could you choose? I guess I missed the memo on this and just have one new one. Ah, well, it was easier my way! 😉

I’m glad you enjoy them, Sue And I could easily have chosen 12 just from Havana! I’ve put a lot more up on Instagram. And I put live updates there in my Story when I’m travelling. https://www.instagram.com/dsmythphoto/

Travelling by proxy with you – not the best choice (I’d prefer travelling myself) but a pretty good alternative!
Here is my maxim for today: https://picturesimperfectblog.com/2026/01/03/favourites-in-2026-making-new-tracks/

A bit vague yet, Debs, but a walking holiday around the Portugal/Spain border and hopefully Sicily later in the year. I’m kind of hoping to be at the Bristol Balloon festival too xx

You? Choose 12 favourite shots? How is that even possible Debbie? These are a fine dozen, but you could have picked so many others. Happy new year!

Yes, you’re right Margaret, it is impossible really. I could easily have picked them all from Havana.

That’s a fabulous idea Debbie. A treat to see some of my favourites in there as well but all have a SWS inspiration. I’ll see what I can find 😀
