Happy New Year!
On Greensboro Daily Photo, and throughout the entire City Daily Photo community, New Year's Day is when we share the most memorable photo of the previous year. We also like to feature one photo from each month. January 1st is always our favorite post to prepare because it gives us time to reflect on the great people, places, and events of the past year. The above photo of the year for 2020 is of Dr. Doris Henderson, who was originally featured, HERE, July 15, 2020. Dr. Henderson was an easy pick for the best post of 2020 because she is such an inspiring person, and in her 90+ years of living and working in Greensboro, she has touched many lives. Her photo was the most viewed in our 12 year history of GDP and it received the most comments in 2020. We are so grateful for all of the work Dr. Henderson still does for the community. She is a role model to many- including us!
For each month, we have selected a photo, putting together a diverse lot, to provide a good overview of life in and around Greensboro.
January: The Piedmont Old Time Society's Open Jam at Horigan's House of Taps. Hopefully music events can start up again in 2021
February: Common Grounds Coffee Shop. A Lindley Park neighborhood favorite!
March: Horse Farm on Pleasant Ridge. Of the 100 counties in NC, Guilford is one of the top equestrian locations. We have lots of horses!
April: Bees Swarming in Greensboro. Quite a backyard adventure!
May: Proximity United Methodist Church. So much history here. We try to pose something spiritual every Sunday. 12 yrs of Sundays = 624!
June: Bungalow on Percy Street. Greensboro has some really beautiful houses. This one is in the Dunleath (formerly, Aycock) neighborhood.
July: Kirkwood on the Fourth of July. After all, it is the people and sense of community & neighborhoods that makes Greensboro special.
August: Rotary Club Carousel. The carousel at the Greensboro Science Center is a tremendous community resource; so many made it possible.
September: Trains in the Gate City. At one time, trains were a main way to transport people and goods and Greensboro was the main crossroad.
October: Fall Fun at Lake Brandt. 2020 was a great year to rediscover Greensboro natural resources!
November: Peace- A Quaker Core Value. We featured Guilford College three times in November. We have got to find a way to sustain this college!
December: Sunny Winter Days. A landscape photo showcasing the natural beauty of Greensboro.

A terrific portrait.
