And I'm very excited to give you an update on our family

This is what a wind storm does to raked lucerne.

Took 3 hours this morning to sort out after I did such a beautiful job of raking yesterday morning.

January 1, 2014

The sun rises on a new year, and it finds me raking again.

It was New Year’s Day 2013 whilst I was raking in the wee hours of the morning listening to the radio that I was inspired to challenge myself with this daily photographic blog. A year on and I have learnt so much, have a renewed passion for photography with a partiality for sunrises & sunsets (did you notice?) and still enjoying it, that I don’t think I will be able to stick to just one year. So more photos for 2014 I think. Can’t promise it will be every day like 2013 (bar the holiday), but we will see how we go.

Thanks for all your continued support and encouragement.
