Happy New Year Bobbie, love how you are able to look forward to a bright future through this apple tree. Our recent camping trip was right amongst the gumtrees.
...is to fill 52 themes, one a week for the year. Some weeks, maybe I'll try to find several photos to fit the themes. Others, I may spend more time trying to perfect one that seems best to represent the theme. Three years of a photo-a-day opened my eyes, now I want to hone my skills.
Somehow, a camera allows me to see more deeply and awakens the eye. For me, undertaking these year-long challenges is a way to become more aware of the world that swirls around me.
I also looked at the bare trees outside today as new beginnings. I love this photo! Happy New Year and looking forward to seeing your journey.
