As 2025 soon comes to a close, we want to thank you all for visiting our site throughout the year. Your support – whether through a quick visit on our website or a kind message – truly means a lot to us.
It’s been a challenging year in many ways. The world feels unsettled, and Arizona treated us to another long, hot summer. But spending time outdoors and sharing moments with wildlife – from bighorn sheep and owls to hummingbirds, nighthawks, otters, and beavers – brought us the calm and joy we needed. We’re grateful we could share those experiences with you.
This year also included a personal milestone for us. After living in the U.S. since 2009, we officially became citizens in March.
As we look ahead to a new year, we wish you peaceful holidays, time with the people (and places) you love, and many moments of beauty – big or small.
Thank you for being here.
Jackie & Marco

Thank you very much for the good wishes, the wonderful photos and the always pleasant and soothing posts – this in sharp contrast to the ongoing worldwide bad news. Helen and I wish you both all the best in the new year. PS: And many thanks for your constant support of the Vitus website!
