A few people have done this kind of summary, and it got me curious - what were my most popular posts? Some of my Little Loves and Book review posts were very popular but I don't think they need to be reviewed here. One of the Torschlusspanik posts made the most popular list too! My first time Boot Scootin'!
For some reason I can't figure out, almost double the readership of my next most popular post, Tell us about...September was my most read post.
Dry Smiles and Water logged were my second most popular posts. They were directly after each other so I'm not sure if there was a flurry of new readers that then got bored...
After that, the posts about ageing and my broken body were very high in readership, I guess that's my market. The girl I used to be and Feet don't fail me now! I realise I write a LOT about feet and shoes...opps!
This strange little art tale was one of my most popular. And I suspect a new audience of runners landed on my Sydney Marathon Weekend review to give it three times my normal readership.
The nature ones were also very popular: Beach Season, Spring, Moon, Whales
Paris - a love affair was very popular - but who doesn't want to read about Paris (and the OG Emily in Paris - me!) Paris is sort of also the subject of this post. Both written before I knew I'd be going back! “Reading is a discount ticket to everywhere. ” ― Mary Schmich

We lost a couple of our blogging community and I think a lot of us felt the shock of the sudden loss of people we'd never meet. I still from time to time go to link up with one of them out of a 10 or more year habit...
Some of my photo feature posts were very popular - There is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in. Leonard Cohen (B&W) and "Because things are the way they are, things will not stay the way they are" Bertolt Brecht. I'm guessing they benefited from the celebrity quotes.
There are a few I can't work out why they were popular - Waiting (about local street art) and the Drama of Dusk.
Instant lift was how photography can canchor you to the present and lift your mood - a simple and free pleasure.
What are we doing wrong? lamented where the Australian way of life seemed to fail in it's standards of community and consideration compared to in Japan, where items can be left in the street and not be stolen.
Hello Lydia,
ReplyDeleteThis is a great way to share your most popular post in 2025.
I did enjoy the celebrity quotes.
I love all the kangaroo photos, they are cute critters.
The Christmas decorations look pretty.

You've had a wonderful year. Beautiful.

What a great idea for an end-of-the-year post and while you were busy…. Happy holidays… Michelle
ReplyDeleteI think sometimes the title/picture on the link up is what attracts us to read a post, especially if it is not a blog that we visit very regularly. I am loving the pictures of the kangaroos, for us here in the US, it is very strange and wild to see them not in a zoo!

ReplyDeleteIt's probably mundane to you, but to me seeing the kangaroos is exotic! Thanks for sharing at https://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2025/12/santa-found-out-about-me-this-is-what-i.html
ReplyDeleteFun to look back over the year. How exciting to see the kangaroos in the pictures.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your posts of the year. Your kangaroo pics are delightful!
ReplyDeleteI do this same thing each year and I'm always amazed at the ones that make the list... and some of them really have me scratching my head as to WHY they were so popular. I think your kangaroo photos are actually quite good!
