Happy New Year!

I know that this is a simple picture, especially considering that it’s the first artwork of the day of 2022.  I took it at the Shops at Legacy in Plano, Texas on one rainy afternoon.  I got soaked taking the picture but I think it was worth it.  It’s a picture that anyone could have taken but it’s also a picture that fill me with hope and peace, which is what we should all start the new year with.  Looking at this picture reminds me that there will always be storms but they will be temporary.  And sometimes, the rain can be beautiful.
