End of year reflections

To finish of the year I thought I would do a post of reflections as at this time of year I think many tend to look back at the year coming to an end.

Thinking about the year that has been, of events that have happened in our life or in the world, pleasant memories of those things we treasure from the year, not so pleasant memories of things that perhaps didn't go so well, and hoping for a better year coming up.

For us its been a mixed year, some good and bad, and I am trying
to dwell on the good times as I am as Lulu sometimes call me Mr. Positive, I try to always look on the bright side of life.

My thoughts are if something goes wrong, what can I do to make sure it doesn't happen again or at least reduce the chance of it
happening again and then move on, no use letting the bumps in the road overwhelm us otherwise one can turn a small road bump into a mountain to climb.

I could now go on about the craziness going on in the world over this past year, but going to let that slide and just say lets hope next year is a better year for the world with less craziness going on and instead move on to share some photos of reflections.

Starting with this early morning image taken on a walk around the port.

To a year that was, almost another new upon us, reflecting back through photography a brilliant collection you presented, wrapped up with more positive than negative, wishing you and Lulu and wonderful New Years Eve!

I think even though it is hard at times its best for our mental well being to focus on the positive

Wishing you and yours all the best for 2023

Staying positive sometimes a wee bit difficult, only way is a walk in nature to switch off of the mental decay around. Reflect often about how much simpler life appeared to be! HNY

Wish you a wonderful New Year ❤️

As always, I am astounded at the incredible images that you have captured @tattoodjay and this collection that you have shared is no exception.

But I have to say, without a doubt that my favourite and either a damn lucky shot or serious patience, is the shot of the bird landing.

It's a shot that you rarely see of a bird- that ability to see that landing at mid landing frozen in time, and then to capture that reflection, WITH the ripples....making it look like a watercolour- well I think you have outdoce yourself this time...In my humble opinion anyway.

I hope that you had a wonderful xmas with your family and friends and wish you so much joy and great health for 2023. XXX
