[January 04, 2024]   Choosing just ten pictures from a three-month span of all those published in Lincoln Daily News is a difficult task, as all four of the staff members who were tasked with the job for the 2023 year in review will attest.

The last three months of the year were entrusted to LDN’s Jeff Wyles who chose his favorite shots from the hundreds of possibilities.

Jeff has a good eye and sees value in photos that some of us miss. We like his narrative on each picture because in almost every case, it offers a new perspective as we look upon it once again.

I am always in awe at the amount of hard work put into this event and the incredible way this community comes together behind good causes.

Marsha Hurley, who made the quilt, is a family member of mine. It's neat to see something she made bring so much money at the pink pumpkin auction.

Working at LDN has definitely increased my knowledge and interest in the community. One of the things I love about Lincoln and Logan County is how freely people here will give. Seeing pews filled with food is awesome. It is also a personal reminder that many have greater struggles than my own.

I have enjoyed Willy Wonka since I was a kid...and that's the mayor! I just think this is a fun picture.

This is a cute picture for starters. On top of that, it is nice to children involved in a situation where they can learn the proper appreciation and respect for our Veterans.

There is a lot of joy in this photo and the tree looks great. At the same time, it is placed in memory of a loved one. I spend a lot of time remembering those friends and family who have passed on during the Holidays so this is s picture I definitely could relate to.

It's just a lot of trophies. I think it's cool. I'm also a little bit jealous.

This is such a beautiful and peaceful looking place. When I think of going to a quiet place to think, or pray or just take a breath...this is the kind of place I imagine.

Downtown looked great this year for Christmas and the holidays. The courthouse, the trees, the parks...as someone who struggles to get in the spirit, the downtown decorations made it much easier.
