Happy New Year everyone!

I told myself not too long ago that I would never do another 365 (this will be my 4th) and then a few days ago, perhaps against my better judgement, I thought that maybe I would give it a try and if I did, I promised myself there would be absolutely no pressure and just do what I can. If I can't finish it, then that is ok. I already know I will not be posting daily and will be needing to play catch up - look at me already, one day behind in posting - haha! The rules of the project allows this and I am grateful. Life gets busy and I think we all need to go easier on ourselves. I do really enjoy taking and editing photos and the commitment of doing a 365 will push me to keep up with a pastime I enjoy. I plan on working with both my Nikon and my cell phone to take my photos. I enjoy doing macros, still life and flat lay photography so those will be mostly what I will be shooting.

So here I go, saying hello to 2023 and taking it one day at a time.

This is an ornament my daughter bought for me at a Christmas store in Heidelberg, Germany. She was in Germany for four months for school and arrived back in Canada on December 22nd, just in time for Christmas; however, her luggage never made her connection flight from Munich to Toronto. The bags finally arrived in Toronto the next day where they sat in the baggage graveyard at the airport for over a week before one was finally shipped to our house. It arrived today in the middle of the night by a delivery service. She was relieved to receive at least one of her two bags (who knows when the other bag will arrive??) and she was able to give us some of our souvenir gifts she bought while on her travels around Europe.

The holidays are finished and now comes the task of putting everything away. While the house may look bare, I quite like everything back in its place.

The days here have been so dark and gloomy - it is really quite depressing. I rely on natural light for my photos and so taking photos has been challenging. I miss the sunshine.

I hope every has had a good day. :)

Today I had a nice lunch out with my parents and my daughter - she wanted to say goodbye to her grandparents before she heads back to Kingston for second semester. It has been raining all afternoon and I felt chilled after we got back home so I thought a hot cup of tea was in order.

Thanks for your visit. I hope everyone has had a good day. :)
