Happy New Year from the Shattered Lens!  Thank you for reading in 2022 and may 2023 bring you all the best.  When I took the above picture, I didn’t even realize that, along with the sunset, I would also be capturing a bird flying across the sky.  It was only after I looked at the picture that I saw that bird there.

To me, these are peaceful pictures.  I hope 2023 will bring us more peaceful images.

As the dawn breaks on a new year, let us give thanks for all we hold dear: our health, our family and our friends. Let us release our grudges, our anger and our pains, for these are nothing but binding chains. Let us live each day in the most loving ways.
