Happy 2017

At the end of each year, a lot of Instagram posters put up nine of their favorite or most "liked" pictures with the hashtag #2016bestnine.

These are mine and they remind me that 2016 was a lot of fun.

They are (from the top left and proceeding clockwise)

So it was a great year  - and all of these were only from the 2nd half of the year. I'm looking at the good side.
