Happy New Year!

Wishing you, Pam, all the absolute best for 2019! May it be a much better year for you, especially health-wise.

Not organized enough to have a new photo for this New Year, so I have resorted to using an old Happy New Year image. I don't like doing this, but it was a case sending wishes or not. This photo shows the fresh new start to the day six years ago, on 28 December 2012, when three of us arrived at our starting place for the annual Cochrane Wildlife Reserve Christmas Bird Count. There often seems to be a beautiful sunrise when we start that Count. I am adding these five photos this afternoon, as I have yet another early morning tomorrow, for the annual New Year's Day Bird Count for Fish Creek Park.

I wish my family and each and every one of my "local" friends, my long-time overseas friends, and my Flickr friends a very happy, healthy and safe New Year! It's hard to believe, isn't it, that this many years have passed since all the fuss about the year 2000? Thank you all for your friendship and encouragement, and for letting me share my photos with you - SO much appreciated! I am looking forward to another year of seeing where you have been and what beautiful things in nature you have discovered! Happy New Year, everyone!
