2026 Traveling with Ann Calendar Contest
It’s time to choose the pictures for my 2026 Traveling with Ann calendar!
Click on the pictures below taken during my 2025 travels near and far to see a full screen view of each. Chose TWO pictures as your favorites and type the pictures NUMBERS in the comments below. Votes will be tallied by the end of October. I’ll share which winning photos had the most votes the following week.
NOTE–If you’ve never commented on one of my blog posts, your comment will appear AFTER I approve it behind the scenes (I have to keep those pain-in-the-rump spammers out).
In addition, I’ll do a random drawing from those who voted in the comments below and choose a few lucky winners for an autographed desk calendar! Be sure to check your email in mid-November to see if you receive a “Winner!” email from me.

Outstanding images this year, and my top two are #13 (I used to visit RM Ntl Park every Sept for the rut) and #22. Runner-up is #24 (swear I’ve flown over that lake en route from SF to Chicago).
Looking forward to the new book and final calendar!
Thanks for soliciting our input- fun to give one’s opinion.
