Next Year's Posts, My Word!!!

Welcome to 2026.

Since I am posting mostly once a week, I decided not to have a Monday theme, but just to share "a day in the life" or pictures from an ordinary life. 

As I shared in my last post, I do have a new word for 2026. The pictures remind us of a path with twists and turns, deep waters and roadblocks; but still a path most often forward. An adventure of life goes something like that. Though my word will be adventure, I will be also focusing on the paths it takes. Sometimes the adventure is simple and straight, while other times there will be unexpected turns, detours, roadblocks.

"Adventure isn’t just about reaching a destination — it’s about the stories you collect along the way, the people you meet, and the ways you discover yourself. Whether you’re scaling mountains, getting lost in city streets, chasing sunsets, or stepping outside your comfort zone, adventure calls to the wild heart in all of us." Road Rider

 

I have always had a bit of a "wild heart". I think that is why I love photographing paths and nature. It's time for me to embrace it, travel with it this year.

“The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience.”

― Eleanor Roosevelt

"Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail." – Ralph Waldo Emerson. 

This photo was in my last post, but even a stream with roadblocks can be a path. It might rush by or be quite deep and treacherous. If we persevere, hang in there, we will make it to the other side.

I can't wait to see what the path/adventure will teach me this year. Join me on the journey!

Happy New Year!

Sending love,
