2012 dawns


I must admit to being rather envious of the beautiful dawn skies that Vicki often posts on her blog - the backdrop of the Appalachian Mountains is a tad superior to Shipley town centre, it has to be said.  Nevertheless, the sky as I walked to work on Friday was pretty stunning.  And yes, red sky in the morning did result in rain by the afternoon, those shepherds/sailors were right!

This seemed a fitting image for the start of another year.  I'm personally hoping for rather less family drama in 2012... but I give thanks for all my blessings.   'God's in his heaven, all's right with the world. ' Sadly we know all's not right with everything in the world, but sometimes just choosing to focus on the bright side does help, I find.

    Even the clock tower can look attractive against a background like that!

    Here's hoping that 2012 is family drama free!

    We woke to a snow storm on this beautiful New Years Day...no church for us, but blessed by friends I've made through blogging. Happy New Year to you too!

    It's a beautiful sunrise, wonderfully captured... Although (she says, tongue firmly in cheek) as an image to symbolize the dawning of a new year, it scares me, as I do not need another year of being rained on quite so much! LOL! Seriously, Jenny, I wish you and yours an amazing 2012, with lots of fun shooting and blogging!

    Great color in the Saltaire sky. I hope your year is all positive. Even when things around you are volatile, Jenny, keep that positive attitude.

    That's quite dramatic, all those dark angles and shapes against the beautifully shaded sky!

    Happiest of New Year's to you!
