Favorite Posts of 2021
I like to end the year with a look back at some favorite posts of the past 12 months. These were posts with a positive theme, that got a lot of comments, and/or are just personal favorites. Rather than order them by topic as I’ve done before, this year I’ve just listed them in chronological order.
Recollecting the year gone by, I want to include one sad note – I learned just yesterday that Don Shenk, whose photos featured here in a post and video in October, passed away a week ago (Not to be confused with Don Burke, whose photos also appear here). Don Shenk took some very lovely photos of Amish in Lancaster County over many years and published two photo collections. I want to note his work once again here and extend condolences to his family and friends. His post appears in this list, and you can also find it here. Don titled this photo below “Pressing On”, and described it as “one of my top 10 favorites”.
Thanks to each one of you for visiting this site and supporting what we do here, it is truly appreciated. When I started this site in 2006 I had no idea that I’d still be at it fifteen years later. No small part of that is because of the support and interest of you. I wish you a happy and blessed New Year and good things to come in 2022.
