happy 2011 to all who may stop by here!!

this photo was taken by one of my flickr contacts and friends.

she often comments on my photos,

and i'm always appreciative when she does.

today, i paid a visit to her flickr page to find this photo!

oh, my!

i love it...

and i found it to be perfect for what i wanted to say

in my first post of 2011, especially when i read the caption.

it says,

"there's no looking back"

and because you probably can't read it here,

i'll tell you what is written on the piece of paper

that is in the subject's hand behind her back.

one word...

"regret"

goodbye regrets!

in my case, i don't mind looking back

at least on the good parts of 2010.

i had some extremely difficult days throughout.

but i also had some of the best days...

most of all, the day i found out i am going to be a mom for the first time!

but i still love the theme of this shot.

{and not just that, but the mood and beauty.}

i get what she means.

it's 2011!

it's a new year...

full of hope

and possibility

and expectations

and anticipation

and any other good thing

you or i choose to fill it with..

yes, it's full of the unknown

and many uncertainties, as well.

but those can be good things.

hopefully, it's full of change,

because i believe at least a little change

is good for us all.

and hopefully it remains full of the familiar, too.

no matter what,

let's look forward with joy!

with faith.

and with belief.

with strength... which will be my word for 2011.

h.a.p.p.y h.a.p.p.y h.a.p.p.y

new year!

{oh, and speaking of flickr photos, i put together a set of all the favorite shots i took over 2010 on my flickr page. below is a mosaic of some of those shots...

you can see the entire set here, where you can also click on individual pictures to see them larger. because i have a photography blog, i created a flickr account to organize my photos. and for my look back at 2010 post on my photo blog, i created a set with all my favorite shots. feel free to browse. i'm looking forward to taking many more in 2011... and hopefully improving artistically to the point where i can take creative photos like the one at the beginning of this post!!}
