Here are four photos from early 2022. They aren't the most important stories of the year, they're simply some of our favorites. 1) Tree appreciation on Main Street / Photo by Jamie Nygaard; 2) Pillar of light explained / Photo by Rae Staton; 3) Welcome to the neighborhood / Photo by Jon Tuttle; 4) Super picker-uppers on Earth Day / Photo by Jamie Nygaard.
