A year in the life -- of our community, of our neighbors, our heroes and people we didn't know but felt in our hearts.
The images of them are subtle, soulful reminders of the fragility and the majesty of life. At year's end, they bear witness to the reality that joy and sorrow are interconnected in the continuum of our lives.
We wish this wasn't so, but the pictures don't lie. We hoped for joy in the year gone by, and we felt joy, but it came with pain, too.
The bitter and the sweet are like our region of two rivers that replenish and renew even as they threaten and sometimes deliver danger.
We had ourselves a year in this community of ours, didn't we? -- Marcos Breton

Jacob Caneba, 11, and his sister Kate, 8, hold an American flag Thursday to honor Marine Staff Sgt. Sky R. Mote, 27, of El Dorado, who was killed in Afghanistan on Aug. 10, 2012. As a motorcade carried Mote's body from McClellan Air Park to Green Valley Mortuary, area residents waved flags from freeway overpasses and lined streets along the route in El Dorado Hills, where he attended elementary and middle school.
