The First Day of The Year

Starting my PAD again.
I aim for a photo a day but if I miss one or two I don't get too upset - sometimes life just gets in the way. I've been keeping a PAD gallery going since 2008/9 which is a record of things I come across everyday.
Today started bright and sunny and these blossoms in a neighbour's garden look almost spring like.

A delightfully refreshing image during this dark time of the year. Here, it's hard to imagine flowers growing outside in January.

perhaps a sign of a better year ahead, despite the budget realities taking effect today..good luck with the PaD..

They really are blooming like spring. Love the angle against the blue sky. Pretty colors on these confused flowers. V.

No no no we haven't had any decent snow yet, I refuse to accept spring is on its way. Well seen and good luck on the PAD.

Brian Samuel		01-Jan-2013 22:04

Well, the days are now getting longer :-)

Good luck with year whatever, and welcome to 2013. This shot has a good feeling of depth. The flowers make it quite an unusual one for your mid-winter.

Lovely to find some colour at this time of year.
