sunset, 1Jan2020
It would, of course, have been more metaphorically correct if this picture had been taken at sunrise today—the real start of the new year—but the simple truth is that I was fast asleep at dawn. This image was captured on my late afternoon hike, and as I watched the sky blazing, I had this inescapable thought: let's resolve, in 2020, to get back to the "work"—a labor of love, more appropriately—of sharing my impressions of the ebb and flow of the natural world. If this is the only resolution I make and keep, that would be enough. Happy New Year!
