Mt Lebanon Magazine Behind the lens: a year in review

The closing of the calendar year leads many of us to contemplate the passing of time, the beauty and sadness of the human condition, and and inspires us to renew our personal goals for the coming new year.

As the new year begins, I decided to reflect on the beauty that I see as I take my daily walks through our charming community.

Living on Academy Avenue since 2015, I have fallen into the habit of walking the same route with a few variations, time and again. Realizing this recently, I decided to break free of my routine and explore a few other neighborhoods for a change of scenery.

Please let me share with you some of my favorite photos from my various Lebo walks.

I hope that you will enjoy the beauty that I see around me as I walk Mt. Lebanon.
