Rejoice; let the strange

legends begin.

---Geoffrey Hill

from the beginning

There might have been things I missed

But don't be unkind

It don't mean I'm blind

Perhaps there's a thing or two

 

I think of lying in bed

I shouldn't have said

But there it is

 

You see it's all clear

You were meant to be here

From the beginning

 

Maybe I might have changed

And not been so cruel

Not been such a fool

Whatever was done is done

I just can't recall

It doesn't matter at all

 

You see it's all clear

You were meant to be here

From the beginning

Though now these daffodil shoots are likely once again covered in snow…

I shot this at the San Jacinto Wildlife Area back in May and thought I'd post it.

Some of our local smaller lakes, rivers and ponds are just beginning to freeze as you can see a bit of ice in this image. I like that I can still see some reflections too.

I'm inspired by beginnings.

A first page.

A new week. Month. Year.

A new goal.

A fresh possibility slowly coming into focus.

A start.

A do-over for no reason better than doing it over.

Grateful for beginnings. As many of them as it takes.

My new years resolution is to better myself as a person and an artist and grow. I am going to do what makes me happy. I'm also dropping my 52 week project and I am going to aim for 250 photos this year. I hope everyone had a great holiday season :)

Where life has no purpose,

and is neither civil nor intelligent,

it begins

to rain,

it begins

to smell like the bodies

of flowers.

At the back of the neck

the old skin splits.

The snake shivers

but does not hesitate.

He inches forward.

He begins to bleed through

like satin.

----Mary Oliver

Happy Sunday, have a beautiful day!

I've been going through my archives a lot lately, trying to finally get some of the old pics I'd taken years ago processed, and weeding out some of the things I know I'll probably never do. It's not easy for me, since my somewhat packrat ways translate over to not being able to part with photos, either, but lately the sheer drudgery of having to wade through so many mediocre shots to find a good one is driving me nuts! Makes it a little easier to make the cuts!

 

This one was taken at Sugar Mill Gardens, several years back. I was looking for something yellow to post, and realizing that very few of my shots HAVE yellow in them! At least the centers of these flowers did, and the light tones weren't completely blown out by strong sun, as is often the case when I DO find yellow or white flowers in my travels.

 

Anyway, the petals looked quite pure to me- like something innocent- a new beginning- which is fitting as it's the first day of 2016! Happy New Year to all!

Forgiveness says you are given another chance to make a new beginning.
