It wasn't about resolutions or starting the new year right.
It was just a walk.
It was just dried berries and salt air and reeds rattling in the afternoon wind.
It was just a squirrel finishing his supper before sunset.
It was just the black lace of bare trees tatted to pink satin clouds.
It was just the sun showing off her finest gown
before she rode away over the mossy hills.
It was just a catch in the throat, a halted step,
as night filled in the spaces
between the branches of the apple trees,
and we realized
with wonder that we
were not alone.

The serenity of these images is the sweetest way to begin a new year, a new chapter, Gigi. Hubby & I always take a walk on New Year's Day. :o) Great to be back in blogland after two weeks away for Christmas in the USA, and catch up with you here now. Wishing you all the very best in 2012--PEACE, LOVE & JOY! ((HUGS))

How lovely to not be alone on this very special beginning of the year walk. The noticing is what makes it so beautiful.
Wonderful photos and perfect words -- reminded me of William Carlos Williams -- not a bad way to start the New Year! Hope it is a rewarding one for you.
Oh my goodness... those two trees! They are all lovely, your photos are always incredible...but some part of my gushy insides have clung to the branches of those 2 trees!
