Jan 2 - Photos

Here are my selections for today's photos . . . I couldn't choose . . . so you get to see three again!

I think this is my favourite one.  Our theme for the month is 'New' . . . well, it is supposed to be something new to us, but I am loosely translating it.

So . . . this one is "New Life"

"New Fruit" - these apricots were picked off the tree yesterday, and were sitting in a bowl on the bench.  I moved them over to the table so I could make use of the side lighting coming in the window . . . I think it worked!!
