Happy New Year

Early in 2020, I saw this view at sunset. It looked ominous with the fire-like glow on the horizon, perhaps portending how our world was about to change.

Although we had tough times in 2020 both individually and as a society, there were moments of great beauty.


Comet Neowise was a wonderful surprise of 2020. We had such fun watching it. On one of our outings to a mountain lake to watch it, we took R with us (and left the others at home) as a special treat for him and us. I am so glad that we did. In a sense, it was one last adventure with him.

I am sure that 2021 will hold both wonder and sadness like most years do. I hope that wonder wins in our hearts.

Happy New Year.

    There will always be wonder in nature. My walks are shorter now, but nature never stops giving. You don't have to go far, just open your eyes and your heart and you will find wonder. Your photos are magnificent. Happy New Year to you and your family.

    We don't mind the usual ups and downs that go along with life, but we sure don't need this pandemic and being locked up. Hopefully things will improve in this new year. Happy New Year!
