Happy New Year 2023!

31.12.2022 by Mervi

The year 2022 has been an ‘annus horribilis’ but there have been many happy moments, too. I wanted my last article before the new year contain some photos of our beloved animal friends. Of course, it’s a mission impossible to pick any favourites because I love all the photos in this magazine!

However, I want this humble article be a tribute to all the fantastic photographers who so generously let me publish their photos. Without them I couldn’t run Knuti’s Magazine. My heartfelt thanks to you all!

The year 2022 will be a year I don’t want to remember but unfortunately I can’t forget it either. May the year 2023 be a much better year for all of us!

Together with Venus and Giovanna I wish you all a Happy New Year and hope our dreams and wishes will come true! While waiting for the new year we can enjoy a glass of Cod Liver Oil de Luxe with our white lady friends! 🙂

  1. Mervi Although there were setbacks you have managed to keep publishing. The magazine is read all over the world.
    I wish you a much better 2023 for you and Vesa

  2. Wonderful photos. 2022 was challenging in many ways, but my best days were always spent with polar bears, or at least looking at their photos and reading about them. Thank you for all you do, Mervi.

  3. What a wonderful collection of photograph’s of our fabulous furry four legged friends!
    They say every picture tells a story and what wonderful stories you have given us Mervi throughout the year, despite the problems faced.
    Thank you for all your hard work and have a very Happy New Year.
    Pat 🐻‍❄️

  4. Dear Mervi!
    Thank you for this wonderful magazine. I hope the next year will bring us more good news and good reports about animals.
    Happy New Year!
    Hugs
    Ludmila

  5. You worked again with this great idea to give honour to all your reporters and their wonderful pics in using one pretty photograph of each of them out of a choice of their and our beloved white ‘heroes’.

    Her you can see when which country will start into 2023:

    [btw:
    a former colleague ‘complaint’ that I didn’t show/mention any cats. As here are also more cat lovers than e.g. dog lovers I would like to ask you to accept my apologies; however, the animals shown should only give an example – it shouldn’t be made a claim to completeness (even no humans were to be seen after all! 😉 )

  6. Thank you very much dear Mervi.
    I would like to thank all the photographers for their wonderful photos.
    Happy new year to everyone.

  7. Dear Mervi!
    Thank you for this beautiful post that paid tribute to all the polar bear lovers and their photos who continue to visit and contribute to your thankfully resurrected magazine! All the bears look great and you can tell that the photographers shot them with love.
    Thanks to all the photographers and to Mervi for editing!

    I wish you dear Mervi, your gang and all readers a happy New Year 2023, which will hopefully bring peace and relaxation to us and especially to the people of Ukraine!

    Liebe Dumba!
    Danke für Deine kreative Collage, die mir gut gefällt, weil sie u.a. viele hübsche und brave Hunde in Deiner Nachbarschaft würdigt.

    Hugs
    Anke

  8. Ich wünsche allen Lesern und Machern dieses Magazines ein frohes und gesundes neues Jahr!
    Liebe Mervi
    Ja, das vergangene Jahr hatte viel Ungutes im Gepäck. Wir werden es wohl alle nicht so schnell vergessen. Uns bleibt die Hoffnung, dass im neuen Jahr die guten Nachrichten überwiegen werden.
    Liebe Dumba
    Deine Collage ist sehr gut, spannend und voller Hoffnung! Danke Dir.

    Hugs,
    Anita

    I wish all readers and creators of this magazine a happy and healthy new year!
    Dear Mervi
    Yes, the past year had a lot of bad things in store for us. We will probably all not forget it so quickly. We are left with the hope that the good news will outweigh the bad in the new year.
    Dear Dumba
    Your collage is very good, exciting and full of hope! Thank you.

    Hugs,
    Anita

  9. Dear Mervi
    dear photographers,

    Mervi, you can be proud of how many reporters are active for your magazine and that worldwide, chapeau!

    They are wonderful photos of our white darlings, for which I also thank you very much!

    My best wishes to all of you 2023 for health, happiness and peace!

  10. Prosit Neujahr,
    auch ich möchte allen hier im knutismagazin ein frohes, gesundes und vor allem friedliches Neues Jahr wünschen.
    Ich hoffe, Ihr seid alle gut reingerutscht.
    Bei uns hat es kräftig geknallt. Ich war froh als es vorbei war, und die ganzen armen Tiere bestimmt auch.
    Feuerwerk ist immer schön anzusehen, aber die unsinnige Böllerei finde ich furchtbar.

    Danke natürlich an Mervi, für ihre unermüdliche Arbeit.
    Dumba, dank auch Dir für Deine, wie immer, schöne Collage.

    Liebe Grüße aus Bärlin
    Monika

  11. Euch allen die besten Wünsche fürs neue Jahr.Hoffen wir dass es endluch wieder gute Nachrichten gibt. Danke für all die wunderbaren Bilder und Collagen.

    Liebe Grüße,Erika
