Picture-A-Week 2024 - Week 01

[pierces]

Pictures taken between Monday, January 1 and Sunday, January 7.

 

Here we are starting the 13th year of Picture-A-Week. It has been a long road (I have several pictures of it as proof).

 

I can't force any of you to go out and take pictures to share but I can almost guarantee that if you do, it will add a little happiness to your life.

 

Have a great year folks!

 

 

Rules: See above

That's it. This isn't a contest.

All photos taken this week are welcome (not just cruising).

Prizes will not be awarded. Discovering the joy of photography is the prize.

The idea is to get folks out using their cameras for more than vacations and toddler birthdays.

Post one. Post many. Up to you.

Have fun with your camera and share your fun with others!

Well, here we are. Nearly a quarter-century since the millennium and I don’t own a flying car. 2023 is over and won’t be missed. Optimism for the new year is sparse with a lot of it simply made up to distract us from food prices and other painful reminders that the fundamental transformation we were promised without any real details wasn’t quite what we were expecting. For the last week in 2023, I featured this Christmas Amaryllis still completely closed more than a week after it was expected to bloom. This week saw it peeking out and starting to spread into what I hope will be a beautiful metaphor for renewal in 2024. I just hope the metaphorical bloom doesn’t look around and suck back into the bud. That would be a bad sign.

 

A Fresh Start

That does restore your faith in humanity, it's pretty dark out there reading & watching the news. Hope for a better 2024. Nothing but positive thoughts.
