I’ve heard that what you do on New Year’s Day affects what you get to do the rest of the year, sets the tone sorta thing….  I don’t know about that, but New Year’s Day usually allows me to spend time doing something I love: if it also helps to set the stage for the rest of the year, I’m okay with that.

Today I spent about an hour with my macro lens, hand-held, in soft north window light — especially soft in the Pacific Northwest winter season —  and some faltering white roses from a pre-holiday arrangement. A very peaceful, meditative way to start the year….

Here are a few of the images.   See more here 

Happy New Year!
