What an inviting picture and so symbolic too. The unspoiled snow leading us toward the tall pine trees as the fresh new year is welcoming us to walk into the clean new path. Have a great 2011 with much happiness.
A gorgeous photo, Dutchbaby! May the new year bring many blessings to you and your family. Thanks so much for adding to the delight of my life this year.
I happily receive your wish for the New Year! Do you observe the eating of oliebollen? We still do after all those years. Wishing that some of your dreams may come true in 2011!
Dear Vagabonde, Thank you for describing the photo so beautifully. I took this on the last morning that my husband and I were in Yosemite National Park last year for our twentieth anniversary. I thought it was a good omen for our next twenty years.
Dear George, Thank you and I look forward to another year of your gorgeous abstract paintings, your breathtaking photography, and the wise teachings from you and your Zen master.
Dear jeannette, We were in New Orleans for New Year's Eve this year, so my sister and I went to Cafe Du Monde for a serving of beignets and cafe au lait. The beignets are surprisingly similar to oliebollen, without the apples of course.
Dear Susan, Yes, you are right - the photo is from Yosemite National Park, not far from the Ahwahnee Hotel.
Happy New Year to you, Susan. I'm so glad you are dipping your toe back into the blogosphere! I look forward to reading more enlightening posts from Bear Swamp Reflections.
Dear Constance, I loved ending 2010 with you in New Orleans! It doesn't get better than that. It was a great treat to meet you in person in one of my favorite places on the planet: the Hotel Monteleone in the French Quarter!
That is an absolutely stunning image! Happy New Year to you dear one!

Happy New Year, my dear Duthchbaby!
ReplyDeleteThat photo is stunning...Ansel Adams worthy, really. I feel as if I could walk into it and disappear. It has to be Yosemite...am I right?
All the best to you and yours in 2011.
