Last year, I began participating in a 52 week project and I fizzled out somewhere in late March/early April. It’s a new year, and I hope to do better this year (or maybe even finish)! The group has a theme each week and each participant must take their photo as per the theme. Sometimes the themes are difficult and out of my comfort zone and that, I think, is quite good for me.

This year begins with the theme of “new”. I’ve opted to interpret this by taking photographs of dew on the morning of a new day. Perhaps not the most creative of interpretations, but it’s just the beginning.

I took a walk to Sara while she was in town and the leaves in Central Park have finally started to change!

Sara has professed a love of duck booty.

And I couldn’t resist one for my series of reflections.
