Happy New Year...




























It's hard to believe that 2011 has already come & gone. For me, it was a year of reaching life goals, pursuing photography, getting back to some writing and making new friends. It was also a year of family tragedy, overseas travel with friends & alone and an unexpected but happy return to Antarctica.  I couldn't have asked for more from 2011 and I said goodbye to her with the wave of a glass and a good stomp to live music at the South Pole. 

2012 is just breaching the horizon and I feel good about it. I hope to put a direction back in my life, that peaceful resolutions can be found for my family and that I can continue to find time for creative pursuits. I never keep resolutions, so I won't make any here this year, but I do hope to achieve much in the way of life dreams in the coming year. And I hope the same for you...

Why Hello 2011.

I'm a little late on wishing everyone a Happy New Year, but here it is.  Happy New Year. 

I spent the end of 2010 into the beginning of 2011 with four of my best friends in Huntsville.  They all pitched in a bought me a plane ticket and it was one of the most memorable NYE I've ever spent.  There was a massive rain & lightening storm all around and I stood in the rain with my best friend getting drenched for ages listening to the booming thunder and booming music from the house.  It was a glorious way to ring in the new year.

When I came home I was greeted with snow on the ground and cold temps.  Neither of which we had seen yet this season when I left just a couple of days before.  I love rain and snow so I couldn't be happier with it.  And I couldn't help snapping a couple of photos.






















Here are my resolutions for the new year:

1. Never be without a camera. And use them.
2. Write 1 snail mail letter a month.  Because who doesn't love receiving a snail mail letter?
3. Paint more. Internet less.
4. Graduate from college.  Because 22 years is a really long time to wait.
5. Turn 40 and be happy about it.  Life has never been so good!

Perhaps not the most noble of resolutions but they're all doable and I like doable.  What are you going to do in 2011?
